Tees Valley Mohawks


The Tees Valley Mohawks are an English basketball club in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, which plays in the National Basketball League Division 3, the fourth tier of British basketball. Their home venue is Middlesbrough College.

History

The Mohawks are arguably the most successful basketball club from the area, having won numerous national trophies. Their most successful period was in the early 2000s, in that time winning the 1999-00, 2001-02 and 2002-03 Division 1 league titles, 2002-03 and 2003-04 Division 1 Playoff titles and winning the National Trophy four consecutive times from 1999 to 2003. Their most recent success was the 2008 Patrons Cup.
Success dried up, and following relegation from Division 1 and after a season in Division 2, the club took a short hiatus, focusing on developing their youth system. The club re-entered the National Basketball League in 2019, playing in the reorganised Division 3.
The Mohawks won the 2022 Otto Estensen Trophy.

Note: Until 2003, the National Cup was competed for by the professional clubs of the British Basketball League as well as National League clubs. Since 2003-04, the competition has been competed for only by National League clubs, after the creation of the BBL Cup.
