Formation of the Club
       The club was formed in early 1990. The team has always played in the local village of Queensbury at the school. Keith Briggs was one of the first members of the club. He was the head teacher at the school.
       The team has produced some quality players who have gone on to play professional.

Constitution
        An important requirement of any club foundation is a written constitution describing the aims and objectives of the club. Here is ours:-
Aims and Objectives.
       The aims of Queensbury Hawks are:
  • •To provide opportunity for players of ages 15 and above to play competitive basketball.
  • •To provide a forum for developing basketball skills beyond those achieved within the 'normal' school system.
  • •To develop the game of basketball in the Bradford area, to enhance opportunities which are not currently available.
  • •To develop a club initially based around a senior team, playing in the Leeds/Bradford district league.
  • •To equip young players with the skills and knowledge not only to play the game but to coach and referee thereby ensuring that the game develops comprehensively.
School Liaison Officer
      The officers will ensure that all the required duties of the club are fulfilled, particularly with regard to national registration with the English Basketball Association (EBBA), Tees-side Area Basketball Association
Club Finances.
      The club will operate a bank account to ensure that financial operations are managed professionally. A summary of accounts will be presented to the Annual General Meeting and will detail all income, (including match fees, sponsorships, grants ...etc.) and all expenditure (including equipment purchases, EBBA registration fees, league registration fees, referees fees, travel expenses....etc.).
      Cheques will require signature of any two of the three elected officers of the club.

       As with any sport it is important that the club is adequately insured. This insurance will probably be arranged via the EBBA.
