Basketball at Solent University dates back many years.
Men's team
The men's team was formed in 2009 after the two local senior teams at the time dissolved. Team Solent Kestrels was created to fill the void left by the old clubs and to provide a competitive team for the talented basketball players at Solent University.
Since their first season in 2009, where they were narrowly beaten in the National League division 4 final, they have gone from strength to strength - most recently gaining first place in BUCS Premier South in 2018 and reaching the BUCS Super8s in 2018.
