About Dodan Warriors Basketball Club The Warriors Basketball Programme was established in 1994, at Dodan Barracks, Obalende, Lagos, as a social oriented outfit to engage youths in Lagos, Nigeria in basketball in order to keep them off the streets and from vices and other juvenile delinquencies. The scope has however widened as youths across Nigeria and the African continent have joined the programme over the years. Warriors Basketball Club is the flagship team of the programme which also has an Academy for boys and girls. We are a study in dualism. Aside from teaching the players the fundamentals of basketball, we are also a forum for education about life, focused on providing a happy environment where each player is presented with opportunities to develop in body, mind and spirit against the background that success in one activity often produces success in other areas. In the Dodan Warriors family, participants are inculcated with the traditional values of courtesy, honesty, hard work, a sense of responsibility and service to the community. Overall we aim to discover the full potential of our youths to enable them achieve excellence and distinction on and off the field of play through education thereby contributing to the well being of Nigeria.
