The Solent Kestrels are an English professional basketball club based in the city of Southampton, Hampshire.
The club was founded in 1998 by Jimmie and Bev Guymon, who wanted somewhere for their son and other youngsters in the area to play competitive basketball.
The club is partnered with Itchen College, with whom they offer elite level, under-19 basketball development to some of the county's top male and female players.
