Welcome to the Magic

Manchester Magic have savoured enormous National League success in all age groups since 2000 and will be looking to add to their list of honours in 2018/19.

The senior team underwent a rebuilding process after long-standing coaches Paul Middleton and Toloe Bagheri Daneri stepped down after the 2017-18 season.

The Magic juniors, who, like the seniors, compete in the NBL and play their home games at the Manchester Basketball Centre in Whalley Range, will also be chasing success at U18, U16 and U14 level.

Ticket prices for senior games: Adult: £5 - Children & Concessions: £2.50 - Family (2 adults & 3 children): £12.50.
