Description
About
Basketball at the University of Bristol is for everyone. With both men's and women's teams within the same club, we invite students of all abilities to try out and find the right team for you. We currently have 2 men's teams and 2 women's teams competing in BUCS, 1 men's team competing in a local league in Bristol, as well as all-gender/mixed opportunities for beginners and social basketball (B:Active and Spartans League).
Aside from just playing basketball, this club has links with the professional basketball team in Bristol, the Bristol Flyers, which means front row seats to top-quality games. We have a great social scene as well which allows us to stay connected as a whole club, and partake in various drinking and non-drinking activities. We are also present within the community, doing our part in fundraising and charity events, taking training sessions at local schools etc.
If you want to be part of a big, vibrant, welcoming club (and play a great sport too) then join the University of Bristol Spartans basketball club! We welcome those of all abilities.
