I started playing Basketball in the 1990's after watching Michael Jordan play and wanting to be 'Just like Mike.'

I started as a club parent way back in 2020 just watching my son Tommy train but soon wanted to contribute to the club.
I started to learn the game, which included me joining in with the men’s team training.
I fell in love with basketball and approached the club to help coach Tommys U11s team from 2021.
My first season coaching the U11s team seen us have an amazing season, winning our YBL league and getting to the playoffs final

U13s Coach
Olly Hewitt
Level 1 Coach
I embarked on my basketball coaching career in 2022, inspired by my son Leo's passion for the sport. When Leo joined the Nuneaton Predators, I saw an opportunity to contribute to the local basketball community and decided to become actively involved.
I started as an assistant coach for the Under 13s team in the 2023/2024 season, and I am looking forward to my first season as head coach for the U13s team in the 2024/25 season
I am driven by the joy of seeing young athletes succeed and the love for the game that I share with my son.
