Pontypridd Panthers are a South Wales basketball club that operate throughout Pontypridd, Llantrisant and the surrounding areas with junior team members between the ages of 6 and 14. There are both boys and girls teams with a total of over 70 junior team members. They have had a great deal of success in the South Wales Basket Association league and cup during 2015-16 season. They have developed 15 players who have represented Wales at under 12 , under 14 and under 15.The club are very proud to have players who contributed to the successful trips to Malta, Belfast, Scotland and Surrey.
The club received a small set up grant from the Community Chest initiative via Sport RCT and Sport Wales. They are subsequently self funding and rely on the support of parents to fund the team and its operating expenses. In 2015 Arch Utility Services, being Pontypridd based themselves, decided to provide some support to the team and made a small donation. In 2016 we continued with our support and met the costs for new team shirts for all 70 plus members. We wish the team continued success and good luck for the new season!
