Our Varsity fixture takes place in the motorpoint arena in front of a huge crowd, the atmosphere is amazing.
We have a strong partnership and connection with Nottingham Hoods Basketball Club, and strong links to other smaller local league clubs around the city. We created our trent hoods national league side this past season, which enabled a link and strong bridge between trent and hoods.
As well as the competitive stuff, there is social basketball available to be played across NTU at both Clifton and city where club players can mix and play people who would rather play for fun and create friendships across the university.
