History
The Wolves compete in the Women's British Basketball League, the premier women's basketball competition in the United Kingdom.

The team qualified for the WBBL Playoffs for the first time during the 2018-19 season, finishing 8th in the league with a 9-13 record.

History
In July 2020, the Wolves organisation merged with National Basketball League Division 1 side Essex & Herts Leopards, competing from the 2020-21 NBL D1 season as the Oaklands Wolves. The Wolves were in partnership with the Leopards from the 2018-19 season, providing opportunities for academy players to train and play with the team, as well as a home venue for training and matches.

Academy & Junior teams
The foundations of the whole Wolves programme are based around an elite-level academy formed at Oaklands College in 2009. Oaklands compete in both the EABL and WEABL, the premier under-19s basketball competitions in the United Kingdom.
