Club

The club was founded as the Cumbernauld Chiefs in 1973.

For many years, the Chiefs were relatively successful at local level, however their primary focus was the development of an extensive junior program which continues to this day. This program regularly engages with hundreds of local kids per week. [1]

In 2014, the club changed its name to the North Lanarkshire Chiefs to reflect the wide reach of the club across the whole North Lanarkshire area.

In 2018, the Chiefs entered the Men's National League Division 2, finishing 8th in their maiden season.

Like many basketball clubs in Scotland, the Chiefs are a registered charity (SC047704). [2] [3]
