Founded on 26th April 1967 and then known as the Loughborough All Stars the Leicester Riders are the oldest club in British basketball. They were founder members of the National Basketball League in 1972 and the BBL in 1987. The club moved from Loughborough to Leicester in 1980 before moving back to play at Loughborough University in 1999, barely a stones throw from Victory Hall where the club played it's first game. In 2004 the Riders agreed a sponsorship deal with De Montfort University and moved back to Leicester. The Riders now play their games at the DMU's John Sanford Sports Centre.
