Description
Basketball is a dynamic, fast-moving sport that combines skill, teamwork, and athleticism. Played with five players on each team, the goal is to dribble, pass, and shoot the ball into the hoop to score points. With its quick transitions, high-energy plays, and constant action, basketball is as thrilling to play as it is to watch.
Our Men's Basketball group is open to all abilities — whether you’ve been playing for years or are picking up a ball for the first time. It’s a fantastic way to stay fit, sharpen your coordination, and be part of a passionate and welcoming team. We train consistently, take part in competitive student leagues, and have a strong social scene off the court too!
Get involved — it’s not just about the game, it’s about the team behind it.
