The Heat Academy is the development division of Guildford Heat Basketball Club – This gives all their members the opportunity to progress through the ranks of junior teams to eventually become members of the Heat first team.  The Academy includes a senior second team squad playing in Division 3 of the South-West National League and National League under 18 and 15 teams. 

In addition to providing thrilling entertainment while challenging for silverware, the players are involved in the following community projects:

The DTJ Programme

Robinson Buckley director John Lanning, a huge fan of Guildford Heat, says “Having seen most home matches this season, I am tremendously impressed not only with the professionalism, commitment and athleticism of the players but also the huge contribution of the Heat staff and volunteers.  This combines to make each visit to the furnace an immensely impressive and enjoyable occasion for all ages”.

We are delighted to support the team in their work on and off the court.
