Our Club

UoB Basketball welcomes players of all levels, offering both relaxed recreational sessions and competitive opportunities.

 

Those who prefer a casual environment can join weekly social basketball or enter a team into the Campus League, enjoying the game while meeting new people.

 

Players seeking a more serious challenge can attend September try‑outs for a chance to join one of our three BUCS teams, all competing regularly against rival universities.

 

Our Men’s and Women’s clubs come together throughout the year for joint events, including our major varsity showcase, Rebellion, which fills Munrow Arena with over 400 spectators, half‑time performances and a huge atmosphere. The club also runs a wide range of socials and tournaments, including popular 3×3 events and trips abroad to places like Lyon and Barcelona.

 

Whether you want to play competitively, enjoy relaxed weekly games, or simply find a fun and welcoming community, UoB Basketball offers something for everyone.
