Budding basketball stars at Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) have been given a huge boost after they have been entered into the England Basketball League (EBL).
NULC's Basketball Club, ‘NULC Knights’ has been approved to enter division four of the EBL and will be representing the West Midlands region in college sports competitions during the 2011-2012 season.
Trevor Humphreys, Academy of Sport Manager and Lecturer at NULC said: “We're overjoyed that NULC Knights, which is part of the College’s Academy of Sport programme, will be representing the West Midlands in the EBL – it is recognition of the College’s commitment to developing and enhancing its sports programme for students.”
Todd Stuart from the EBL said: “We welcome Newcastle-Under-Lyme College Knights and I’m sure they’ll be ready to impress in their rookie EBL year! Good luck to the team and the club.”
The season will begin in October, with the first match being held in the College’s new £5million Gordon Banks Sports Centre.
Team members of NULC Knights are students at the College and the general public, who have a talent and passion for the sport.
