From Saxons to Raptors: our proud heritage
The Gloucester Raptors Basketball Club emerged from the rich history of the Gloucester Saxons, a local community basketball group. In 2026, we made the bold decision to form our own independent team. This move allowed us to push our players further, capitalising on our previous successes and fostering an environment dedicated to excellence. Our roots are firmly planted in Gloucester, and our aspirations reach new heights.
