The North Lanarkshire Chiefs are a Scottish basketball club, based in the town of Cumbernauld, Scotland.

Club

The club was founded as the Cumbernauld Chiefs in 1973.

Upon promotion to Head coach, coach kev's passion for hustle and heart have driven the NL chiefs to new heights for the 2021/22 season, with star man T-bone averaging a double double in the opening five fixtures.

In 2022, the NL Chiefs went on to win promotion through a playoff game against sleeve. Josh Philpott dropped an enormous 32 points in a close 71-69 victory which saw the Chiefs delight in promotion to Division 1.

Current roster includes talented young players such as Darius, T-Bone, Leviticus, Philpott, Milky, Sherry aka Mr Foul, K D the gardener (great with a rake), Big Stu and many more. The future is bright for the NL chiefs.
