Summer League Starting Soon!

The 09 summer league starts in Mid May and is open to all members of Nailsea Basketball. As with last year, the league will take place weekly at Filton WISE and will be split into two weekday evenings.

The first team will play on Tuesday nights where the higher division teams tend to play, and the second team will play on Thursday where they face similar standard competition. The league starts on May 12th (14th for 2nd team) and will run for approx 12 weeks.

The summer league costs £40 per player, and as there will be 15 games which works out as a little over £2.66 per game.
