Game times: Earliest 6:15pm & latest 9pm. (Your team’s game time will rotate in the draw each week: where necessary we try to accommodate those who generally prefer early or late games – just let Dave know if you have a preference).
Running clock: 40 minutes. (2 halves of 20 minutes, with a 1 minute half-time break).
Suitable for: Players 18+, who are enthusiastic, love basketball and want to play in organised games that are not overly competitive.
Skill level: The emphasis is on the social in ‘social basketball’. Most teams range from Semi-Beginner to Intermediate, but there are some advanced players in the leagues too. (We divide the draw to ensure that teams are generally relatively evenly matched to make for consistently good games).

It’s the best: For 25 years, and with over 150 teams already playing each week, the leagues are the most established and well organised in CHCH.
Fitness: It’s an excellent workout – you get the dual benefits of anaerobic exercise mixed with lots of muscle endurance and strength from all the explosive movements. And it’s a lot more fun than going for a run in Winter.
Fun: Play basketball in a social setting with a great standard of refereeing on non-slippery courts.
Socialise: Play in a social team with your friends or workmates – it’s a great way to catch up each week and have some fun.
Economical: Reasonably priced at $60 per team per game (this works out at $8-$10 per person per night).
Fair: As a socially conscious business Social Basketball Christchurch donates a considerable amount to local and international charities each year. Read about it here.
