Social Basketball game (big merge)

26-11-2012 7:30pm #1

Have a game booked for 9-10 in the Arus Salthill, we have about 8 now.
So if anyones interested in playing send me a PM.
Most haven't played so it'll be fairly laid back.
Looking to try get a game going every Monday night..... so over time we'll try to improve the standard in relation to rules.

Previous experience not required, but either a background in other sports(makes learning new ones easier) or an interest in Basketball(so you at least know the rules) would be preferable!.

Could be interested when returning to college in jan, where do ye play and is there anyone heding over from gmit side

05-04-2013 3:33pm

Just to bump this.

We're playing from 7-8 in the Arus.
Was unable to secure a permanent slot myself for the game mentioned above and stayed on with a crowd I was playing with from 7-8.
Numbers were too low since Xmas and the girl organising it was going to pack it in completely but I said I'd try recruit a few more.

Should have room for at least one, if not even two.

No previous experience required, though a willingness to adapt is essential(travelling in Basketball would be akin to someone picking up a ball in soccer and kicking it from their hands).

Aeghnor · 05-04-2013 3:44pm

I would be pretty interested. Could you give me more details (cost, exact location, dates, etc.)?

Niamhf · 06-04-2013 1:56pm

Hey guys! I'd be interested too! If you could pm me the details I'd like to join in!

Ok I didn't have the day/cost but I did have the location: Arus - Salthill(Salthill-Knocknacarra GAA)
The day was to be the same as above but noticed I posted it on the day, I didn't re-read it.

Its Monday from 7-8 in the Arus.
Cost varies, depends on numbers but there's enough in the kitty for one free night. The last girl used to take E5 off everyone even if there were too many and that covered a free night and/or low numbers other nights.

I can collect anyone around the City Centre, Im based in Claddagh myself.

I'll PM you the same Niamh just to make sure you see it.
Otherwise PM me your emails and I'll add ye to the mailing list.

Shooter_galway · 16-09-2013 12:34am

Anyone know of any basketball games going at the moment, or would anyone be interested in setting one up if there's a few interested?

16-09-2013 10:42am

This is still running on Mondays at 7.

Looking for one or two new players.

No previous Basketball experience needed, but an athletic background would be preferential to adapt.

Males and females welcome as it's a mixed group.

thesandeman · 16-09-2013 11:28am

There is somebody asking about basketball games a few threads down.

16-09-2013 6:04pm

Monday
7
Arus(Salthill-Knocknacaraa GAA)

We need a few new ppl as we've too many who only come once every few weeks.

21-01-2014 5:08pm

Just bumping this again as we're still in need of regular attendees.

Have far too many who only show up the odd time and you need a min of 8 to have a decent game.

Very frustrating to see the 8 slot have 10+ each week with new players consistently while we struggle to acquire new players.

Just a willingness to learn the rules is needed, we have one or two girls playing too so gender isn't an issue.

evil_seed · 22-01-2014 5:17pm

I'll ask a few mates and see if they have any interest. If it wasn't so far out I'd be more interested. What day(s) of the week, times etc..?

Same as listed above, I was just bumping my own thread as opposed to adding to it.

Monday, 7, Arus-Salthill.

Shooter_galway · 21-04-2014 3:41am

Is this game still going?

kevthecelt · 21-04-2014 7:45am

Very interested in doing this on a regular basis. Is it going on this week?

21-04-2014 2:15pm

Shooter_galway wrote: »

It sure is, back again next Monday.

Not sure of your gender, we did have 3 girls when I joined the group but only have one now.
Still though both are more than welcome, it's only a social game after all.

kevthecelt wrote: »

No unfortunately they don't open on Bank Holidays.

We'll be back again next week, by all means join us.
Our numbers can be iffy at times, we need a good core of 5/6 while as of now it's 3/4 so we're reliant a lot on the ones who only come 1:3.

Having said that we did hit 9 last week but in the run up to that we were short a lot.
We have mixed skill levels, some handy players, some average, some below.

There's something for everyone I guess.

18-09-2014 12:33am

Just bumping this again as we're down a few again lately.

Could do with another new body or two.

Can't guarantee anything, as work can sometimes keep me late but might try to make it down next Monday.

I assume you have to pay for the use of the court, how much do I need to bring with me?

Foxx92 · 23-09-2014 3:16pm

Waiting on a job situation, but if I'm around Galway next week i'd love to go back playing.

We take E5 a night of everyone then have a free night when there's enough. 6 people cover it but we've occasionally only had 6 and that so needs to stay at that mark to cover potential drop outs.

We're there every Monday bar Bank Holidays.

Ye can PM me for my number if ye need directions or anything like that.

Yes we are.

Its beside Pearse Stadium in Salthill... The Arus(or-us)

remt · 16-10-2014 11:19am

BASKETBALL! every Friday 20:30 and Sunday 11:30. Renmore (beside Kingfisher). 3 euro per game.

23-01-2015 11:58pm

Just giving this a fresh bump.

We lost the last 3 we gained from the previous bump though due to emigration(to Dub) and the couple who are off for 4 months travelling.
Add them to the other 1/2 off thread additions and we're floating numbers wise on a dangerous number.

Open to all levels, males and females.... one week there in November we had only 2 men and 6 females, it's fallen again to 1/2 but there's always one at least.

PM for futher details.

MRedd · 28-01-2015 8:56pm

Hi, I ve moved to Galway from Dublin and am looking for some place to play bball indoors. Usually it`s like 10-15 people who meet up and rent the gym and play every week. Lots of such events going on in Dublin usually through a facebook group, but coudn t find anything through search in Galway.

Kind regards

Whereisgalway · 14-06-2015 9:35am

Any games going? Would love to take it up

hobie21 · 14-06-2015 9:38am

No FB page... We're there as long as its not a bank holiday.

Numbers fluctuate... Been good lately.

PM me if you're interested or have any more questions.

07-07-2015 4:01pm

Just giving this a summer bump.

Numbers were great for a while but terrible last night so could do with fresh faces.

Details listed above. Any questions feel free to message me.

Freddurst25 · 30-09-2015 1:52pm

Hi, I am just wondering if this is still running. Would be interested in joining.

Yes, still running as per the original post time/venue.

MRedd · 31-10-2015 7:53pm

Basketball on Fridays and Sundays in Renmore and Knocknacarra. Skill level: intermediate +

https://www.facebook.com/Galway-Basketball-Group-pick-up-931746500250348/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel

10-11-2015 4:26pm

Giving this a bump for new players but also due to a time change.

Now on at 8pm due to the club wanting the slot, and being the owners left little bargaining power.

PM for any more details.

remt · 15-01-2016 1:42pm

Basketball.
Every Sunday evening.
In Knocknacarra community center. Galway
More info PM.

10-03-2016 12:58pm

Giving this a fresh bump as numbers are bad.

8-9pm.

Mainly just looking for men now as we don't have any females left.
Open to any females with sporting experience though, just wouldn't suit a female beginner anymore.

MRedd · 03-04-2016 9:45pm

Anyone interested in outdoor play since the weather has picked up, Westside has ok hoops and maybe we can figure out to put the nets up?

happyoutscan · 04-05-2016 3:39pm

Used to have the odd pick up game at the bish during the summer. Might have a better chance of getting a few there, if you're still allowed in (not sure if the gates are locked immediately after school).

wintersolstice · 13-09-2016 11:56am

Anyone know of any basketball clubs in galway for shall we say , mature people! I loved it at school many moons ago and would love to play it again.

GalwayGrrrrrl · 13-09-2016 6:27pm

https://www.titans.ie/wp/calendar/
Titans in Westside seem to have a wide variety of adult groups - might be something there to suit you.
How mature are you, if that's not a rude question? 40? 80?

wintersolstice · 13-09-2016 7:22pm

Thank you for that, I shall have a look and am in my 50s!

GalwayGrrrrrl · 13-09-2016 7:31pm

Still young then:)

14-09-2016 1:42pm

If a social game interests you, give me a PM.
We're all 30+.

Alanh30 · 18-10-2016 2:25pm

I'm just looking for a social game. Anyone know if there are any of these around?

We're still playing but we had to merge with the crowd playing at 8, then we had loads of returns so we're over subscribed at the minute.... basically 12 plus a night and always(thankfully) missing a few.

I'll send you a PM once the numbers fall again(as they do).

06-02-2017 7:26pm

Time to bump this again.

Usual craic where you have too many for a while then out of the blue you have too few..frustrating.

Mondays 8-9 in the Arus, Salthill. Even room this evening.
All levels accomadated, would probably suit males more as we only have one female(who's been absent a good few weeks running now) though females with experience would fit in fine.

Drop me a PM or reply for more info if required.

01-11-2017 5:13pm

Hi,

Just another seasonal bump.

https://www.meetup.com/Galway-Social-Basketball-Mon-Wed/

05-03-2018 6:23pm

Bump.
