Unfortunately this team is not for beginners!!

nialo

its divison 5 right? so why would it not be open to beginners?

CKavo

Hi Nialo
Don't feel this particular team is for beginners, in so far as this group are all currently playing or returning to the game from a break. Given it's a new team the Ladies board are placing us in Sen 5 but the standard of players we have currently would be higher than that, think a beginner would find it difficult to learn the skills of the game and the rules etc within this group of players.
Your certainly more than welcome to come along and see what you think and decide if this team is for you.

nialo

ah i was just asking!! Cause usually div5 would be of the opinion that everyone is welcome, any skill level...

ps does nialo sound female to you!! :P

Hey its a great idea having a ladies team part of the "Tallaght Basketball Club" - Tallaght is a huge place and can do with lots of teams.

Gud luck with it.

WHIP IT!

Is there any teams around the Tallaght/Clondalkin/Lucan direction with underage girls teams? ie, for a 10 year old?

Nodzer

Hi there,

There is a couple which you can find out for sure on www.dlbb.net and if you go into the clubs it will come up with the age groups for teams.

Hope this helps.

nialo

think there is one in lucan. and im pretty sure there is one in tallaght too. balrodery community gym/pool in tallaght is the gym where they training. not sure on the spelling.

and in lucan you would have to get in touch with the club there. if you contacted the senior mens club they would direct you to the coach.

Nodzer

There is a big enough club called dublin lions in clondalkin "all age groups"
Kilnamanagh have a kids team

There is none in Balrothery this used to be Notre Dame old groups way back before the Arena opened. I have enquired to balrothery as i live beside it and its not hosting any teams... i stand to be corrected if a team developed since two months ago.

Thanks Nodzer, were determined to get this team off the ground, it's a shame really there are not enough Ladies teams operating in Tallaght but were on the case and hope to grow the Club overtime.

Hmmm I might be interested in this actually. Attempted to get back into basketball last year and failed due to time restraints. One a bit closer to home would be better but I might be up for this.

Hi RQ
You'd be more than welcome, if you decide to join us, sessions take place every Monday from 8-9pm. Next session tonight.

Hi,
I have only just noticed this post tonight and am really keen on getting back to playing basketball again, have not played in a number of years since school. Are you still playing throughout the summer months?

CKavo

Hiya
If you were thinking of joining the team, the Tallaght Ladies Basketball Club are running training sessions every Monday night @ 8-9pm till the start of preseason (August) when the team will be picked.

If you were interested there is also an open session in the Arena every Wednesday for Ladies open to everyone from 7-8:30. It's basically pick-up games for the duration and would be an ideal place for you to start getting back into the game, price €5.
