Victoria Falls
Panthers
Basketball Club
Four teams, one primary school league and an open door on a concrete court in Chamabondo, ten minutes from the seventh wonder of the world.
2015
Who we are
A club built on
a borrowed court
The Panthers began as a school programme in 2015 and grew into a club with senior men, a ladies side, a junior academy and a wheelchair team. We are volunteer led, community funded, and sanctioned by the Matabeleland North Basketball Association.
Our home court is outdoor concrete at Chamabondo Primary School. There is no roof, no scoreboard and no budget worth the name. There is a full fixture list, a school league we run ourselves, and a town that turns up on a Saturday.
Programme figures are club estimates for the 2025/26 season. Competition figures on this site are taken from the Matabeleland North Basketball League record.

one crest
Tap a card to turn it over. Cards turned: 00 of 04. Player cards for every squad member follow once the club supplies names and numbers.
The record
How the title
was won
Ten wins from twelve, a points difference of plus 139, and the derby taken twice. Home fixtures are played at Chamabondo Primary School and entry is free for under 12s.
We do not wait for facilities to arrive. We play on what we have, and we make it count. Club philosophy
Basketball for Good
The game is
the excuse
Behind every session there is a second curriculum: turning up on time, speaking in front of a group, handling a loss, staying in school. Children arrive for the ball and stay because somebody notices when they do not show up.
- Weekly training
Every weekday at 5pm, term time and holidays.
- Life skills workshops
Run alongside sessions, never instead of them.
- Talent identification
Into provincial squads and national development pathways.
