The Wanderers Basketball Club

Inspiring Those Who Aspire To Be

More than a club.
More than just basketball.

The Wanderers Basketball section was founded with the goal promoting the sport of basketball in South Africa. Our focus is to allow athletes to play basketball at a competitive level as well as promote basketball as a recreational activity. To this end, the basketball section open to individuals who wish to play socially as well as players who want to play competitively. In addition we endeavour to make basketball accessible to disadvantaged individuals who wish to participate in basketball outside of the university and school structures. We encourage participation by all ages, races and sexes and provide the necessary facilities, programs, training and services. The Wanderers Club have had a presence in basketball for over 10 years whereas the management and coaching staff have been involved in basketball development for over 25 years.
