Worcester Bears have approximately 140 players, of varying ages, registered with their club and play matches at youth level in either the Birmingham-centric Youth Basketball League (YBL) or at National League level. They also have a number of adult teams representing the club at local and regional levels.
Their head coach is the highly respected American Rick Solvason. Rick originally came to this country to play professionally in the 1990s and stayed on; he is now a Level 3 coach.
This season the Bears are entering two U11s teams (an A and a B team) in the YBL and it is the U11s A team that our own Cubs will be playing.
