About our Club

Our Mission Statement and Values
Sligo All Stars Basketball Club was established in 1965. The club currently has 340 members and a small waiting list of potential members in most age groups. We play in the men’s National league and we have men and women’s teams playing in local leagues. A wide range of boys and girls teams are accommodated in a range of under age competitions. The minimum age for club membership is seven years of age. The club is managed by an executive committee under the leadership of the chairman. The club is a Company Limited by Guarantee . We are a club of volunteers who act as managers, coaches ,advisors and supporters of all members and in doing so we hope to make a positive contribution to our community.
Sligo All Stars Basketball Club is a welcoming  place where we seek to engage respectfully with people with diverse experiences, backgrounds and abilities. We believe that this will deepen our understanding and appreciation of others, motivate us to embrace our differences and make us richer for the experience.
Head coach Shane O’Meara says:
“My dream for our club is to continue to build on our success to date. We have grown year on year since 2006 and it’s great to see former players giving back. I have always told my players that they will be the club’s best coaches in years to come and I hope we can develop a culture of “giving back” as they progress through their careers. Ideally I would love to see our county develop the game at parochial level under the umbrella of Sligo All-Stars, enabling us to establish our own local leagues at under age level initially.”
