Why enter a Mens Social Basketball League?

 

  • 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.
