Basketball (Men's)

Welcome to CCCU Men's Basketball

More than a team – we’re a family.

At CCCU Men’s Basketball, we pride ourselves on being more than just a sports club. Whether you’re picking up a basketball for the first time or you’ve played for years, you’ll find a place here. We welcome all skill levels, backgrounds, and experiences – our goal is to turn anyone who steps onto the court into a player, and anyone who joins our community into family.

What we stand for:

• Building lifelong friendships and team bonds
• Supporting each other on and off the court
• Creating an inclusive, welcoming space for everyone

This year, we’re on a mission: to grow our team into a strong, united community and raise the profile of basketball across CCCU. We want to make our presence known – not just as athletes, but as a club that brings people together.

Not just for players.

Even if you don’t play, you’re always welcome at our weekly socials. Whether you’re a basketball fan, a friend, or someone just looking for a good time and a great group of people, there’s a place for you with us.

🏀 Training

At CCCU Men’s Basketball, we train hard and play harder. We run three weekly training sessions, including two early morning sessions for those committed to competing in both BUCS and the Local League. These early sessions reflect our belief that dedication is the first step to success.

Training Schedule

(Christ Church Sports Centre, Pilgrims Way, Canterbury CT1 1XS):

• Monday: 07:00 – 08:30
• Monday: 18:30 – 20:00
• Friday: 07:00 – 08:30

All players are welcome to attend, and we encourage commitment from anyone who wants to improve, compete, and be part of something bigger.

🏆 Leagues We Compete In:

BUCS

• Competing in Men’s South Eastern Tier 3
• Fixtures take place every Wednesday
• For players who regularly attend all training sessions and demonstrate hard work, strong work ethic, and basketball IQ
• Play against other university teams in a highly competitive environment

East Kent Local League

• A community league playing against men’s teams across Kent
• Open to players who consistently attend evening training and show dedication and a team-first mindset
