About Us

Building a Legacy, One Bounce at a Time

We’re the best place to play fantasy basketball.

The Victoria Falls Panthers Basketball Club is more than a sports organisation — we’re a movement born out of passion, purpose, and the power of community. Based in the heart of one of the world’s most iconic towns, we use basketball as a tool to inspire, include, and uplift.

Founded by local coaches and youth leaders, the Panthers were created to fill a simple but vital need: to give young people in Victoria Falls access to structured, meaningful, and inclusive sporting opportunities. What started as a school programme has grown into a multi-tiered club that now includes junior and senior teams, a ladies’ division, a wheelchair basketball unit, and a corporate health & wellness wing.

Our Mission

To use basketball as a platform for personal growth, community building, and social change in Victoria Falls and beyond.

Our Vision

To be a leading force in grassroots basketball development in Zimbabwe — known for our talent, our values, and our impact both on and off the court.

Our Values

At the core of the Panthers is a commitment to inclusion, excellence, discipline, community, and fun. We welcome players of all backgrounds and abilities, strive to be our best on and off the court, value hard work and consistency, and believe in growing together as a team — all while keeping the joy of the game alive in everything we do.

Join the Pride. Change the Game.

Whether you’re a future star, a passionate coach, a sponsor with vision, or a fan who believes in community, there’s a place for you with the Panthers. Together, we’re building more than teams; we’re building futures.

Our Programs

What We Do

We start young, and we start right. Our junior programme — run in partnership with Chamabondo Primary School — introduces the fundamentals of the game to kids aged 8 to 13. It’s about fun, fitness, teamwork, and learning to believe in yourself.

Senior Men’s Team

Our senior team competes in local and regional leagues, showcasing the talent and grit of Victoria Falls on the national stage. For many of our players, this is more than sport — it’s a stepping stone to opportunity.

Women’s Basketball

We believe in equal play. Our ladies’ programme is building a generation of confident, skilled female athletes who are changing the narrative in sports and beyond.

Wheelchair Basketball

Accessibility is not an afterthought. Our wheelchair programme ensures that all athletes — regardless of mobility — can compete, connect, and belong. We’re proud to lead the way in inclusive sport in Matabeleland North.

Corporate Health & Wellness

Through basketball-based wellness activities, corporate leagues, and fitness challenges, we’re helping companies energise their teams while supporting youth sports development. It’s a win-win for businesses and the community.
