The Inverness Lions are a Scottish basketball club, based in the city of Inverness, Scotland.

Club

[edit]

Inverness City B.C. was established as a youth focused club, with training and games for kids aged 6 to 18. In its short history the club has developed over 20 players who have gone on to represent Scotland and GB at age-grade international level.[1][2]

As the club grew, a senior team was added, providing a full pathway to progress through the Club. The Lions name was then adopted,[3] and in 2015, the club became part of the Inverness Community Sport Hub.[4]

In 2019, the Lions' men's team entered the Scottish Men's National League for the first time. They are the first senior men's team from the Highlands to play at this level.[5]
