Basketball club
The University of Portsmouth Basketball Club provides a great atmosphere for people that love the sport and like to get a little competitive, it is great way to meet new people and socialise with the other members. We welcome players of all abilities by having competitive teams in the BUCS leagues and weekly fun, social sessions.
