The quick version

The Gunma Crane Thunders, a B.LEAGUE club in Ota, Gunma, run a youth setup centred on U15, adding a U15 West team as their footprint grew, alongside a basketball school that feeds the pathway.

Club overview

The Gunma Crane Thunders are a professional basketball club based in Ota, Gunma Prefecture, one of the leading clubs in the northern Kanto region with a community-focused approach.

Alongside the first team, the club runs youth teams and a basketball school. This database-style profile is based on public information; structure and rosters vary by season.

Academy structure

Development centres on U15 (junior-high age). As the club’s footprint expanded it founded a U15 West team in addition to the existing U15, running trials and tryouts to widen access, and it operates a basketball school for a broader range of ages as an entry point.
