Basketball academy players rub shoulders with the Harlem Globetrotters

On Monday 25th March Newcastle-under-Lyme College Basketball Academy and national league players were invited as VIP's to the world famous Harlem Globetrotters game in Birmingham. The invite came courtesy of the Academy coach, Shawn Jamison, who is a former Globetrotter himself. All the players were given court side tickets and were invited into the changing rooms before and after the game.

Academy of Sport Manager Trevor Humphreys said "The experience forms part of what being on an academy is about at Newcastle-under-Lyme college. We try and give all students the experience and thrill of being involved within professional level sport".

The basketball academy at Newcastle-under-Lyme college is one of the most successful having remained unbeaten in the league for nearly 2 years, and reaching the finals of the national cup for the 2nd year running.
