Parent voices
What families
say about NEF.
“My son has been really keen to join a basketball club for years and this club has been amazing for him. Great for all abilities—and probably the only thing that could get him out of bed on a Saturday morning!”
Parent · St Andrews
“I have three sons at the club, all at different ages and with different experience, and it’s great for all of them. It’s a very positive and supportive environment and very welcoming to everyone.”

Owner & Lead Coach
Meet
Shayne.
PE teacher, experienced youth coach and the founder of North East Fife Basketball.
I started NEF Basketball after realising how few opportunities there were for children to play locally. As a dad, I wanted somewhere my own boys and other young people across the area could experience, enjoy and fall in love with the game.
I've spent more than a decade coaching children and young people across different sports, alongside over eight years working as a teacher. My approach is individual-first, games-based and collaborative: sessions should be active, welcoming and enjoyable, with lots of chances to play, make decisions, ask questions and grow in confidence.
