max Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hi, I suggest you search on Sheffield Uni's website which returns several pages of results for basketball: Sheffield University From the looks of it, there are several departmental basketball teams but I'm sure that the uni has a league team too. Good luck and hope you enjoy Sheffield when you get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hi Steve, good Chinese name there. Sheffield has some excellent basketball facilities but opportunities to play in leagues are limited and depend very much on your ability. If you play to a high standard in China you should be looking to a National League team. If you just want to play as a hobby then there are local leagues but the standard is mixed. The University will have a team but will not play as often as local or national league teams. PM me with details of your present club/standard and I will put you in touch with a couple of coaches in the Sheffield area. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Same here. I had trained with the Derby Storm youth crew a couple of times before they folded. Haven't played in a long long time, so I bet my range and overal play would be a bit rusty, but I could get it back. Thanks to my coach I was also able to meet Alton Byrd and Kevin Cadle several times and hang out with them, both top guys who were even nice enough to write to me every now and again and send me signed photos and stuff. I have looked into the possibilities, are the University arrows or whatever they're called any good? I am keen to play at a competitive standard. Cheers. Oh, what are you coming to study Steve? I'm coming to do Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffman Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 We should set up a forum basketball team to play in the Sharks recreational leagues, i'm sure there's enough people who would be up for it. The leagues are great, mixed sex teams and it's for those who love the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 A fan for the Sheffield Hatters told me about the forum. I am a native Sheffielder living in Connecticut. Our State is a hotbed of college basketball, with the great University of Connecticut Huskies women's team , five times NCAA champs. and the men's team two times winner. In the coming Olympics you'll be likely to see some of our graduates in action. Look out for Sue Bird, Swin Cash, or particularly Diana Taurasi considered by many to be the best player ever. It will inspire players and watchers alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
