Basketball

Key Information

The main competition for basketball is the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) leagues. With five Scottish tiers for men and three Scottish tiers for women. There is also the Premier league, where the top teams from Scotland, England and Wales compete. Each team will also compete in a knockout competition each year, either Scottish Cup, Trophy or Championship. Last year 16 Scottish institutions for both men and women competed in the BUCS Leagues.

As well as playing opportunities SSS also runs annual a Reffin Brilliant course annually to help those looking to become qualified referees.

To help steer the direction of the sport for students we have the Basketball Development Group, the roles are filled by volunteers either students or former students who have a passion to help develop the student game.
