Hi folks,

Do any of the basketball groups that seem to have formed here still exist? I'd really like to play somewhere but, as the post title suggests, I'm not really very good.

Otherwise, does anyone want to get a forum basketball team going?

Cheers
Nick

I would like play basketball as well, so let me know if it any opportunity.

id like to join an amateur club or just get to gether wiv a couple of guys just to give it a go

I would love to play basketball again also, I used to be ok but not played in about 6/7 years.

Like me:) But i love it.
So maybe we will meet somewhere outdoor?

I would be happy to meet up to play some BBall and see if we can take this anywhere, but we would need a few more takers first.

My thoughts exactly, everton.

As for a venue, the university sports centre has some courts that I think you're allowed to book out. Any other ideas?

You can book a court at just about any sports centre, but it'd be a god idea to start at a free court like at Millhouses Park. Then it doesn't cost the person who booked it twenty quid when no-one turns up.

I'd be interested in playing. Long time since I've played but I need the exercise.

I agree so we can decide when and where

I'm happy to cart meself down to Milhouses. My diary is usually utterly unpredictable so I'll let you guys decide a time and I'll turn up if I can.

Also, someone needs to bring a basketball

I could usually do Mon, Tue or Thur anytime after 7.

I play basketball quite regularly, mainly due to the fact that theres a court at my place of work. Anyway, if u guys just want somewhere to have a shoot around and get practice, then theres a free outdoor court at the burton street project in Hillsborough, next door to morrisons. the court is quite small but well maintain with a good surface, with floor markings, the court is rarely in use after 5 and is ideal for a small group. it might have a picture on the website? www.burtonstreet.org.uk

If people are thinking of evenings, it'll need to have lights. How many could do this Sunday afternoon (22nd) at Millhouses at say 3pm?

I can't - can only make weekday nights.

Hey people,

I posted a thread similar to this a while back but there were hardly any takers. If I could get a rough idea of the numbers willing to play I would try to find a sports hall somewhere. What would be the best night for everyone? How about Tuesdays?

Get your names down on here, lets make a go of it!!

Hi Lee,

I would still be interested in playing and Tuesday nights is fine with me.

Yo, I'd still be interested and I'm free about every other Tuesday.

I could do some Tuesdays but the later the better, after 8.30 if possible.

I would be looking for a two hour booking preferably if we are going to get a hall.

Bit too cold for outdoor at that kind of time. Plus the outdoor Adidas rims aren't too forgiving, especially if you're a bit rusty!

If we're booking a hall though need more numbers.... COME ON PEOPLE!

There was more interest than this last month!!

As you can probably imagine, there are free courts everywhere in America, as well as a basket outside probably one house in five. They do a great job of giving youngsters somewhere to blow off the energy, and reduce the chance of chavvery and vandalism. I sometimes go to our local court to watch the kids play, teenagers mostly, black and white, guys and girls. Sometimes 20 at a time, all on court at the same time, banging away in the paint or throwing amazing 3 pointers from way beyond the perimeter. It's the American equivalent of a football kickoaround with jackets as goal posts. Baketball is America's best sport.
