About

Barts and the London’s very own basketball club has found great levels of success in recent years, with a promotion in the Men’s BUCS leagues and a National Association of Medics title. This year, we are looking to grow with new members, and secure some more titles for the club.

We welcome new members of all abilities, whether you want to train, play competitively, or just be a social member. Training is led by a level 3 coach every week and a weekly social league takes place each Tuesday at QMotion. Regular social events will be scheduled throughout the year, along with charity events and friendly matches, so be sure to follow our Facebook and Instagram pages to stay up to date. This year, we also aim to host more academic support events, with our seniors happy to help younger years get through their course - primarily medicine.
