Our History
James Baird started Cambridge Basketball on his own initiative in 1983. He lead the organization, mainly by himself until 1991. At that time, he organized and became the first President of Cambridge Basketball. He stayed on as a member of the executive until 1997. Coaching basketball has been a very large part of Jim's life and many valuable lessons have been learned under his leadership by players and other coaches. He has dedicated a great deal of his time and expertise to our sport.
In 1998. Jim was the first recipient of the James Baird Founders Award for Outstanding Commitment and Service to the Youth of Cambridge Basketball. As first recipient of this award, we dedicate this award to those who follow in his footsteps, and endeavour to improve upon the foundations that he built for Cambridge Basketball .
The 1999 recipient of the James Baird Founders Award is the West Cambridge Optimist Club, who have supported our group financially every year since inception.
