The West Lothian Wolves Club is based in West Lothian, Scotland. The Club was founded in the year 2000 with the formation of the first Wolves team, a Boys U14 team to participate in the BAA Millennium Games. This U14 team continued in the following years to play in the Lothian Leagues at U16 and U18 age groups.Several of the players from these early days are still with the club and include Marc Dickson, who is the present Coach of the U14 Boys team and also a player with the Senior Mens team and Gavin Baxter who also plays with the Senior Men and is now also a qualified court official.
In 2003/4 an U16 boys team entered into the National League under the guidance of club founder and basketball guru Alan Hastie. The club continued to play in the Lothian Under age Leagues.
By season 2006/7 the club had grown to a stage where we had the following teams U14 Boys, U16 Boys, U18 Boys, Senior Men and U16 Girls all competing in their respective Lothian League. As well as a men’s recreational session once a week for those that should know better by now! Regulars at this session include some of those that played for MIM in the 80’s. In 2007 a women’s session also began.
That season saw the Senior Men claim the Lothian League Men Division 2 trophy after an unbeaten campaign. Also in this season the U16 Boys finished runners up in the National Development League having lost out in the final game in an away tie to Dunfermline. They also lost the Lothian League play-off in July when several of our players and coach were on holiday, having beaten the eventual winners twice during the regular season!
