Medics Basketball Club

Cardiff University Medics Basketball is a mixed basketball team in terms of gender, ability and year groups. We welcome students from all courses, but with a particular aim to accommodate the busy healthcare timetable.


What do we offer?

  • Casual sessions: mixed-ability sessions to stay active and switch off from studying and learn the basics with regular practice for everyone.
  • A 1s team and 2s team for those who want regular training and fixtures against other universities/societies/local teams
  • Socials: Wednesdays and Friday/Saturdays are our usual times. We are pushing for more sober socials to be more inclusive for everyone and Fri/Sat activities for those who are busy on Wednesday nights
  • All levels of experience are welcome, mixing a fun, casual atmosphere with a competitive edge.
  • We aim to improve understanding and skills, build fitness and still enjoy the fun of the game.


Medicine society?

Being a medic society, this year we want to really push teaching and collaboration with other societies from everything to ISCE, case and progress test practice and more. Also charity work as it’s important to us to help who we can when we can.

In the past years we’ve ran in house revision sessions with senior medics helping younger medics and we have also done big collaborations with charity societies such as Cardiff marrow!


Training 

Our training sessions for this year (until Easter) will be as follows:

Saturdays (Open for all)2:00pm - 4:00pmTalybont Sports Centre, 12 Bevan Pl, Cardiff CF14 3UX
 

The sessions will consist of warm-ups/stretching, drills and skills training, culminating normally with scrimmages usually either half-court or full court.


 


Competitions:

Our first team competes in the Cardiff Basketball League as well as Medics Varsity.

Our second team plays friendlies with other societies that have basketball teams in the university and acts to develop some match experience.

A highlight of the year is the NAMS tournament, an inter-uni medics basketball competition as well as our own in house tournament we run over a couple of weeks where all members of the society that want to participate, go to a “draft social” and then spend time playing against each other in full games.
