Club History

Starlites Basketball Club are one of the most recently formed clubs in Malta. Starlites has developed and grown from a club offering a social purpose to female basketball, to a club which is presently participating in all the categories within the Malta Basketball Association. The founder of the club, Ms. Marie Therese Zammit changed the first official team (Sliema Wives) into a women’s social club. The first junior women’s team originated from the parish priest’s ‘dutrina’ list. The club eventually progressed and developed other sectors. The statute was eventually changed to allow males into the club. The development of the mini basketball and youth sectors were a milestone in the development and growth of Starlites basketball club.

Starlites basketball club is run and managed by a Voluntary working committee made up from The President Mr. Andrew Cutugno, the treasurer, Mr. Thomas Zammit, financial controller Mr. Tino Riolo, the secretary, Josephine Sultana the technical director Mr. Ivan Riolo, event manager Mr. Anton Cutajar and other members.

Starlites basketball is one of the most active local clubs. Participation within local basketball competitions and tournaments is only a part of Starlites yearly agenda. A major objective of our club lies within the social domain. Starlites basketball aims at providing children of all ages and abilities opportunities for being active. The mini basketball nursery targets development of physical literacy together with sport specific skills which help our participants move up the ladder of success and develop from participants into athletes. The Junior sectors provide opportunities for those wishing to take the game of basketball to a higher level by competing and increasing their training levels moving towards the senior categories which were developed with the purpose of motivating our young athletes to give it their best shot and try to make it at this level.

Starlites main aim is of increasing the physical active levels of all our participants and members and instill in them the love of leading a healthy active and social lifestyle. We welcome you to the Starlites Website & encourage you to visit the various sections.
