Founded in 2024 by Matt Parker. One organisation, two arms — Nottingham Athletic the basketball club, and Athletic Academy CIC the schools-and-community programme. A growing membership, eight squads, a growing number of school partners — and bigger plans beyond basketball.
Nottingham Athletic was built to give players in Nottingham a serious, well-organised place to develop their game. Eleven teams from U12 through to a senior side competing in the National Basketball League — training and playing across different parts of the city.
The kit, the coaching standard, the fixtures list — they hang together because someone is paying attention. We operate as a proper club, with a long-term plan.
Our players come from across the East Midlands and beyond. Some are coming up through our youth pathway. Some have moved to Nottingham specifically to play here. All of them have to earn their spot.
One organisation. Two arms. Built and run from Nottingham.

From the U14s on a Saturday morning to senior men under the Friday-night lights — they all wear the same crest, and they all answer to the same standard.
A handful of partners we work with closely. They make this club run — and we put their name on the kit, in the gym, and at every home tip-off.
{s.tag === 'Principal partner' && 'Heronridge backs the club at every level — from senior kit to the youngest squad. The principal partner of Nottingham Athletic since 2024.'} {s.tag === 'Performance partner' && 'Causality Health supports player performance and recovery, with on-site clinic time across all our squads.'} {s.tag === 'Strength & conditioning' && 'Edwards Performance runs S&C across the senior and U23 squads — and provides programmes for the youth pathway.'} {s.tag === 'Recovery partner' && 'RecoverPro provides post-game recovery for the senior squad and travel kit on away weekends.'}
We work with a small set of partners — local first. Match-night branding, kit placement, gym signage, content collaborations. Tiers from a youth-squad kit sponsor up to principal partnership.
