The Slam Dunkin' Divas, Manchester’s only women’s LGBT basketball team was formed back in August 2008 with a handful of members. With the passing of time, we have grown into a bigger, stronger and more advanced squad and on a good night we have 18 people attending our training sessions.
We are currently playing the Manchester Area Basketball League and are currently in third position.
The Divas have also participated in a number of international tournaments, including the World Outgames in Copenhagen (2009), the Gay Games in Cologne (2010) and the Eurogames in Rotterdam (2011). We are currently training for the Eurogames 2012, which are being held in Budapest.
Details and news on some of the “Divas’ Tours” may be found on our website.
Our training session takes place on Tuesdays, 7-9pm at Loreto High School in Chorlton. Our sessions are led by qualified coaches and it is guaranteed that new attendees walk out of the session with new skills, abilities and new friends!
