There are plenty of opportunities to play basketball at the University of Liverpool. We have some great facilities and whether you want to play competitively or socially, you will be able to get involved.
Competitive
We currently have two men's teams and two women's teams competing in the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) league, all of which are seeking to win their respective leagues or gain promotion. With our Men's first team competing in the Christie Cup and our Women's first team winning the BUCS Northern Conference Cup last season, we are looking to maintain our competitive edge and therefore we would love to see you at trials at the start of the year.
You can contact the women's team here

Social events
This coming year, we will be having regular club socials with a wide range of activities to become involved in to improve the chemistry of the club. We have lost a lot of time to make up for, so attendance will be heavily encouraged.
