Basketball (QMBL Women)

 QMBL Women’s Basketball has been the current QMSU Club of the Year for two years in a row now! We strive to be the club where everyone can perform at their best! Year after year, we welcome QM and BL players from all possible backgrounds, with or without experience in the sport, to come and join. We aim to provide a platform upon which everyone can train and improve, as well as socialise and make new friends Club Sport is a huge part of our University experience, and we want to make it as memorable for everyone looking to join as well. We offer the opportunity to improve basketball skills in weekly trainings, where sessions are tailored to individual needs. Our more advanced players can compete in our high-aiming BUCS performance team and we also have a Development Team that competes in the LUSL Intermediate Division. In addition, we provide a beginner's This Girl Can session every week open to everyone of all abilities! As a large club, we pride ourselves on our sense of community. Our Social Secretaries arrange a variety of formal and informal socials throughout the year (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), where members can get to know each other as well as other sports clubs. For non-competitors, our base membership fee covers both socials and trainings because we want to offer all members the opportunity to build relationships both on and off court. Due to the current circumstances in the world, we have made some adaptations to abide by the government guidelines as safety is our number 1 priority in the club! We have come up with a blend of online and in-person socials that will keep our meet-ups fun and safe! So no matter if you’re a beginner, an advanced player or somewhere in between, we would love to welcome you into the club!TrainingSundays @ Qmotion:  Base Membership.Mondays @ Mossbourne Academy, Victoria Park:1st and 2nd team onlyThursdays @ Qmotion: In partnership with Get Active: This Girl Can, Semester package or £2.50 per session.Equipment: Participants need only bring comfortable exercise clothing and suitable workout trainers (we recommend trainers with good ankle support).
