Oxford Elite Academy's U18 Men Team Joins National League: 
A New Chapter to Success 

Following a perfect debut season in the 2023/24 YBL U17 competition, where our underage team defied the odds and clinched both the Cup and League trophies, Oxford Elite Academy is thrilled to announce that our U18 Men team has been accepted into the National League competition under Basketball England for the 2024/25 season

This exciting development marks a significant milestone for our club as we continue to build on the remarkable achievements of our young athletes.

Among our opponents are the Bracknell Cobras, Farnborough Phantoms, Reading Rockets Academy, Woking Blackhawks, Salisbury Sparks, Aylesbury Dux, Surrey Rams, Swindon Shock, Abingdon Eagles, and Oxford Hoops.

These clubs boast high-level basketball programs, presenting a formidable challenge for our U18 Men. However, with the talent, dedication, and team spirit that our boys have consistently demonstrated, we are confident they will rise to the occasion and make their mark on the National League stage.

 

Coach Roman said : ,,As we gear up for the new season, it's clear that the challenge ahead is significant. After our incredible achievements in the   23/24 season, stepping into the National League will undoubtedly push our Elite Programme to new heights. However, I have full confidence in our squad. Our returning players are exceptionally talented, and the new additions have only strengthened our team, making us highly competitive in the Conference League. We’re committed to working extremely hard and taking on this challenge step by step, ensuring we grow and improve with each game. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our parents for their unwavering support and to our sponsors, Pearn Kandola and Domino's Pizza, for their continued commitment to our Elite Programme. Together, we’re ready to make this season one to remember.,,

 

The 2024/25 season is set to be an exhilarating journey, and we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to compete at this advanced level. We extend our best wishes to the players and coaching staff as they embark on this new chapter. The entire Oxford Elite Academy community is behind you, and we are excited to see our boys continue to develop and showcase their skills on a bigger platform.

 

Good luck to our U18 Men in the upcoming season—let’s make it one to remember!
