Nottingham, UK – Continuing to inspire the next generation of basketball players, Molten has generously donated basketballs and tickets to students at The Wells Academy, providing them with the opportunity to witness top-tier basketball action at the upcoming Super League Basketball (SLB) Cup Final.
The donation by Molten, who are commercial partners with SLB, was made in partnership with the Nottingham Hoods, and will allow students and their families to experience the excitement of the SLB Finals while also equipping them with high-quality Molten basketballs to enhance their development on the court. George Coles, Principal of The Wells Academy, expressed his gratitude for the initiative:
Super League Basketball and Molten UK & Ireland have penned a multi-year partnership that will make Molten’s BG4500 the official game ball of all Men’s and Women’s SLB competitions from this season.
The partnership between Molten and British basketball’s top division continues a relationship that extends to well over 20 years support between the manufacturer and elite level British basketball.
“We’re proud to confirm Molten as partners of Super League Basketball. Molten has worked closely with the British basketball community for decades and we’re excited to work with them over the coming years to further elevate the game in the UK,” confirmed SLB Interim Chair, Vaughn Millette said.
Ahead of June’s European Championship, FIMBA GB+60 Women have received a welcome boost from the UK and Ireland division of global basketball specialists, Molten.
Molten’s UK & Ireland Brand Manager, Paul Reaney visited during a recent training session to present the group with a batch of Molten BG4500 matchballs –the same ball used in major European competition and the British and Ireland Basketball Leagues.
The 18-strong squad, whose ages range from 60-73, is currently in training for the European Championship, which will take place in Pesaro, Italy in June. Team GB is looking to improve on the bronze medal they won in Portugal in 2023 and is also hoping to compete in the bi-annual World Championships in Switzerland, in 2025.
