SBU
Student Basketball Utrecht (SBU) is a mixed club where playing basketball at various levels goes hand in hand with our social activities. Our men’s teams and women’s teams play in different divisions of the Dutch Basketball League.
Levels
Levels vary from beginners to first division. Our first two women’s and men’s teams practice twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays. Our lower teams practice once or one and a half time a week on one of these days. Teams are based on annual selection training sessions in August (with pre-selection sessions for the highest teams in June). In our highest teams, being achievement-oriented plays a more prominent role than in our lower teams; but, just the same, all our SBU teams know to combine a focus on performance and a social life!
Tournament, parties and other activities
SBU means more than just league games. Each year, SBU organises the MIT, a big four-day international tournament full of basketball, parties and other activities. At the start of the season we organise a camp weekend, and throughout the year many more activities will be taking place away from the court. The Utrecht Bulls is our sister club; they were founded by a group of former students that wished to keep up the SBU spirit. Jointly we organise an annual mixed tournament followed by a drinks party.
Committees
SBU is a club by and for members; we have various committees that you can actively participate in, such as the Case Committee – responsible for the club paper – and the Feecie – responsible for many great parties every year. Check the website of SBU for further information on our committees.
Membership fees (exclusive OlymPas)
