    How high a standard vs Sunday/Wednesday players?


  • Registered Users Posts: 610 ✭✭✭nialo


    be more matched to tuesday. if not better.

    so good bit better than wednesday on average..


  • Registered Users Posts: 453 ✭✭Da GOAT


    Arena on Tuesday is actually 7pm - 8:30pm. can go on till 8:45pm.

    Standard isnt that high though, its decent is all. People who do well at any session above should come along and just try it yourselves. Friendly atmosphere imo.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭FyeaG


    ...Anyone playin basketball? im in, hit me up..


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    Struggling a bit for numbers on the Sunday game in Sportsco and the Friday game in DCU. Probably due to the summer hols and the occasional sunny evening but we need people to make an effort or they might have to be cancelled or postponed until the autumn!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 CKavo


    Went along with a pal to the Arena last night for OPEN session and it was all Men in attendance, no ladies present so for my own safety I opted out which was disappointing. I would'nt recommend Ladies show for this Tuesday session however the Arena are starting a new session for Ladies only on Wednesday nights' commencing 23rd June from 7-8:30pm @ €5.
    All ladies welcome.

    No more scrimmage @ oblates on monday's. they r starting team training sessions from next week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 Diana_


    Looking for a social league or beginners basketball team or open to other team sports. Been playing tag all summer and looking for a mid week "winter" team sport willing to take on three ladies who haven't played basketball in quite a while....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 CKavo


    Diana there is a Ladies only open session on Wednesday's in the Arena in Tallaght, this takes place every week from 7-8:30pm priced @ €5 and is open to everyone. Basically whoever turns up we break out into teams and run games for the session. This might be the best option for you as you won't find much casual Basketball at this time to end of March/Apr as the season is commencing September and most Ladies are now back with their clubs for pre-season! Might see ya next Wednesday 25th August we have Ladies from all different levels so no need to be nervous come along and have fun!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 r0s


    Do you know if the Ladies Open Session is still on at the Arena on Wednesday nights. What is the standard like ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 CKavo


    r0s I'm afraid not, it's finished up now for the playing/league season...it will start up again next April once the season is finished. Keep an eye on the post here for start up date.


  • Registered Users Posts: 113 ✭✭thisguy


    Hey im new to dublin looking to play a bit of basketball after work once a week or something...are those sesions posted at the top still going or is there any new ones?also how good is the standard when ye say high standard?iv played for a club back home in the midlands but nothin to major!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 CKavo


    Hi DisGuy, I'm afraid not, it's finished up now for the playing/league season...it will start up again next April once the season is finished. Keep an eye on the post here for start up date.

    Not sure if in fact you are a GUY (alias), but if you are the Men's open sessions were taking place on a Tuesday evening in the Arena. I think you may still find a link on this website for that session to determine if it's still running during the playing season.


  • Registered Users Posts: 113 ✭✭thisguy


    No not operating under a gender alias here, I am in fact a guy.:pac:....Thanks I'll take a look into that so, won't have the time to play for a club so a social match is what im looking for. If anyone else knows of any pick-up matches i'd appreciate the information. cheers


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 rubyblack

  • Registered Users Posts: 13 CamiloVillegas


    Hi,

    sorry about lack of speed with replies.

    was in kilmainham (st catherines) monday night, they were surprised that it would be mentioned on boards, exactly 10 showed up so no-one was too put out. .

    Sportsco on a sunday evening is a long way and a bad time, but thanks all the same

    anyone know of a game in DCU on friday nights.


  • Registered Users Posts: 113 ✭✭thisguy


    When you say the match is in St. catherines where do you mean? Is there a gym beside there or where is it? Dont think I can make it tonight anyway, just for the future..thanks.

    Hi, im currently looking to start playing a friendly game 1ce a week with a few lads, we currently have about ten players that used to play a bit in school and clubs, we are looking to get more players together because with ten we find it hard to find a time that suits everyone with the hope of playing once a week in the basketball arena or somewhere near D24, all levels are welcome, we are around the 22 - 23 years old mark and i have set up a facebook group so we can contact faster and arrange games more effectivley pm me for more details :)
