Playing basketball

By Rudolfs Andersons

Basketball training is open at the Olympic sports centre in Grostonas street 6B on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays http://www.lu.lv/sports/veidi/basketbols/

Everyone is welcome regardless of skills and previous experience. However, it is often overcrowded and playing abilities vary greatly.

More serious basketball players should consider joining a Faculty’s basketball team. These teams not only train but also compete with each other in the LU basketball league http://www.lu.lv/sports/veidi/basketbols/sacensibas/lu-basketbola-liga/. Those interested should contact their student council.

The top level of basketball is played by the main basketball team which combines all the best players from all Faculties. This team plays in the SEB Latvian student basketball league http://www.sbl.lv/ and competes with all other Latvian Universities.

Those interested in trying out for the team should contact Head Coach Mārtiņš Zībarts via e-mail: martins.zibarts@lu.lv
