BC CRAWLEY
UNITED
we would become an attractive basketball icon for
the local youth, where everyone wishes to play.
Achieving this stage would mean we can offer to
the local public and youth a well-established, well
known basketball school where we could raise a lot
of future talent. So firstly we started to work with our
main team, creating the basketball icon for the local
youth and I think after this season we would be able
to progress to the basketball school stage.”
Challenges
“If all our plans will go successfully, in 5 years’ time
we definitely will be in need of a big home venue,
where we could start to play at the highest possible
level. Of course all projects must have funds and
after five years they should be big enough to
proceed with all of it. I think in term of club growth
the challenges are always big, as tomorrows
club needs always to be bigger than yesterdays.
Otherwise we stop progressing.”
Ambitions
“We want to become England‘s Basketball League
Division 1 (EBL) or even British Basketball League
(BBL) club and perform in the international arenas.
Basketball is the kind of sport that needs to be
supported by sponsorship at any level – even
famous Euro league teams are sponsored. So if we
approach the right people at the right time and are
able to build a good enough budget for the club, I
can’t see why not?”
