ABOUT THE WEST YORKSHIRE HAWKS
At the West Yorkshire Hawks, we do more than just play basketball—we build community, inspire growth, and create opportunities. Based in the heart of West Yorkshire, we’re a not-for-profit basketball club driven by passion, purpose, and people. Whether it’s lighting up the court in Neon and Navy or running grassroots programmes that uplift local lives, everything we do is powered by a deep commitment to our community.
Home to competitive men’s and women’s teams, a thriving junior programme, and inclusive community initiatives, the Hawks are proud to represent West Yorkshire with energy, pride, and heart. From buzzer-beaters at the Hawks Nest to coaching clinics, we’re here to make a lasting impact—on and off the court.
