FIMBA GB is the United Kingdom ‘arm’ of FIMBA – The Federation of Masters Basketball Association (http://www.fimba.net/en/). FIMBA GB has been authorised by FIMBA World to regulate and control players and teams from the United Kingdom representing Great Britain at FIMBA events worldwide. We have been endorsed and recognised as leading the way for masters basketball in Great Britain by both FIMBA and GB Basketball.

Steering the organisation are Nicky Shaw (nicky@fimba-gb.com) and Maria Endacott-Heser (maria@fimba-gb.com), together with an elected committee of players, coaches and team managers – click here to meet the committee.

We are proud to be able to keep players in the game as well as opening up new tournaments for them.
