History

The New Hampshire Flames Basketball club was founded in 1998. In its inaugural season the club fielded a single team at the 11U level. The organization was founded with the following guiding principle:

The Flames organization is dedicated to providing girls in Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts the opportunity to develop their physical, social and emotional well-being through healthy athletic competition.

The organization steadily grew during its first ten years of existence and by 2008 consisted of 19 teams, providing playing opportunities for over 200 girls.

Flames teams have also had much success at the NH State level over the years, routinely placing in most age groups. Flames Teams have participated in the AAU National Championship Tournament in 2003 (11U), 2005 (12U) and 2009 (11U). The 2009 squad ranked #8 at the AAU National Championships. The Flames Organization captured their first NH AAU State Championships in 2008, at the 10U and 13U level. In 2010 the Flames set a new gold standard by capturing state titles at three age groups.
