Worthing Thunder are starting to plan for the return of National League basketball. They admit losing the end of the 2019-20 amounted to a ‘massive financial hit’ but they and their fellow NBL clubs are starting to plot how and when to start the new campaign. Club secretary and director Sara Jenner said lockdown was dominated by players getting safely home to their families.
Towards the end of last season Alex Owumi joined Jenner and fellow player Zaire Taylor on the board of directors, a big boost as he will be based in America and can attract US sponsors with his contacts.
Taylor, who can play anywhere on court, has just completed his thrd season with the club. He has enjoyed the break from basketball after working solidly for ten months.
Jenner said: “A couple of weeks ago he starting doing private one-on-one coaching with juniors at local outdoor courts across Worthing and Brighton and from this week he will be having groups of four. It’s going really well and we are seeing new kids wanting to have sessions, which is great."
Taylor has started looking at players for next season and some names will be announced soon.
Jenner said: “We really hope to make this our most successful year with regards to trophies and growing the club. I’ve been around Thunder since I was little, now taking over along with Zaire, whose passion for basketball is passion I’ve never seen from anyone else – he dedicates so much to basketball and wants basketball not just in Worthing but England to develop."
“With our junior programme this season, we aim to expand and are looking to enter a girls’ under-14 team into the league, which I am very excited about. We are both excited to get things going again.”
