Our launch in Wales

We now deliver in Wales through our partnership with Basketball Wales - The Genesis Project -

”We’re thrilled to partner with Guardian Ballers to explore the powerful connection between basketball and mental health. As a sport rooted in teamwork, communication and resilience, basketball offers a unique platform to support young people’s wellbeingboth on and off the court.

This partnership will help us embed positive mental health support into our culture and create safe spaces for young players to thrive.”
