Welcome to the University of Leicester Basketball Club
Our Club
Basketball is one of the biggest sports on campus, and the city of Leicester itself. A record high full capacity in last year's varsity win against rivals DMU, alongside a BBL team, the Leicester Riders, basketball is a key part of the city's culture. We are a strong and tightly knit club with a great ethos and relationship between its members. Becoming part of the club is a great chance for you to meet new friends and socialise and of course, play the sport we all love!
The best part of this club is that there is something for everyone; whether you are brand new to the sport or consider yourself the next MJ. Join our page today and discover all the brilliant things that the University of Leicester Basketball Club has to offer!
This year promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory with plans to increase our membership and basketball offering immensely.

Extensive Social Calendar
Being one of the fastest-growing communities on Campus, it is only right to have a social calendar that matches it. In the coming year, we have planned a wide variety of social events (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) throughout the year! Starting off we are planning on holding an annual Fantasy League for you NBA enthusiast. Weekly Let's Disco social is planned by our unique social secretary. Play in our NBA 2k tournament for a chance to win prizes alongside the biggest bragging rights. We also are offering competition-based events such as a 3v3 tournament, a 3-point contest, and an alumni game.
