This club offers students at Queen Mary the opportunity to play basketball at many different levels. Everyone will play basketball in either competitive and/or recreational teams.
There will be one team of 20 players, from which 15 players will be selected to play both BUCS and LUSL games, the rotations and lineups may change weekly. All the other teams will play in the Intramural League, where many of our club teams have won the league vs Barts, QMUL Staff Team, ACS, CSSA.
We want everyone to feel welcome and have fun in the club; therefore, we will organize many social events throughout the year and exploit every opportunity to play some ball.
We are confident in getting promoted in both BUCS and LUSL leagues. We want our teams to perform well and win the Sports League in both semesters. We want to continue our positive streak in beating Barts’ team at Merger Cup.
Moreover, members can obtain coaching and umpire qualifications through the SU, the opportunity to watch Basketball England games throughout the season, and finally, volunteer during sporting events.
The 20 players selected for the team will also be given a tech fleece that can be customised to include the player's name.
