The Leicester Warriors are an English semi-professional basketball club from Leicester, Leicestershire.
The Warriors compete in the English Basketball League Division 1. The club runs extensive community programmes and grass root teams in the Leicester area. The Warriors' home venue is the Braunstone Leisure Centre.
History
The club were founded in 2003 by Leicester-born ex-England team and Georgia Tech basketball player Karl Brown, with an emphasis on running community based programmes addressing social issues as well as encouraging participation in basketball. The club won promotion to EBL Division Two after their first season, and spent the following years consolidating their position in the division.[1]
The Warriors claimed their first major trophy on 4 March 2007, when they won the Patrons Cup final against the Bristol Flyers. The final was held at the Newcastle Arena, with the Warriors winning the game 61-55, and seeing former Leicester Riders player Drew Barrett named MVP. The 2008-09 season also saw another leap forward for the Warriors, claiming third place in the league and winning promotion to Division One for the following season, where the team has competed ever since.[2]
In September 2015, the Warriors confirmed that 2001-born Kareem Queeley had signed a 2-year contract with basketball powerhouse Real Madrid.
