Do you have what it takes to represent VU in the 2021 University Basketball League? We are on the hunt for the best student basketballers to represent Victoria University.
Endorsed by Basketball Australia, and supported by the respective State Basketball Associations, the inaugural UBL tournament will be played over nine weeks, with each participating university getting the opportunity to host and livestream the matches. The 2021 UBL season is set to run from March through to May.
Both men's and women's competitions will be played across the country, culminating in a finals weekend to determine Australia’s number one basketball university. The creation of the UBL will also provide unique work integrated learning opportunities that will enhance the students' academic development with practical experience.
The competition is free of charge to selected athletes including interstate flights, accommodation, uniform and training. Matches are held mid-week to avoid clashes with external basketball programs and university commitments.
Victoria University will be selecting a men's and women's team, with teams consisting of up to 12 students. If you are interested and would like to represent VU, express your interest and you will be provided with more details.
