After a year-long pause, a familiar roar echoes through the courts of Kent once again. The Kent Tigers Basketball Club, following its brief hiatus in 2023, is set to make a grand comeback in January 2024. This isn’t just a return; it’s a resurgence of spirit, strength, and the celebrated ethos that has always defined us.
The 2022/23 season was a testament to the club’s prowess, marking our history with championship titles in both D1 and D2, alongside triumphant victories at the KCjBL at both U14 and U16 levels. These achievements have etched our name in the annals of local basketball, but our journey doesn’t end there. As we prepare for our much-anticipated relaunch, our gaze is fixed on reclaiming and surpassing our former glory.
But what truly makes the Kent Tigers stand out is our commitment to the community. Our hiatus was a time of reflection and planning, emphasizing the core values that the Tigers stand for – respect, commitment, and hard work. These aren’t just words; they’re the foundation of everything we do, both on and off the court.
As we reignite our passion for the game, our focus extends beyond just winning matches. We are dedicated to rebuilding our connection with the community, working closely with schools, families, and friends. Our aim is to instill the Tigers’ ethos in every player, whether they’re shooting hoops for fun or training for competitive play.
The relaunch in January 2024 is more than just a return to the game. It’s a revival of the spirit that defines the Kent Tigers – a spirit of unity, determination, and excellence. We are not just training basketball players; we are nurturing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and champions.
So, keep an eye out for our upcoming announcements. New sessions are being planned in Dartford, and we are excited to welcome new and returning faces to the fold. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, there’s a place for you in the Kent Tigers family.
Together, let’s bring the roar back to Kent. Let’s rebuild, reconnect, and reignite the legacy of the Kent Tigers Basketball Club.
