The Men's Basketball Club here at Essex exists for those that want to play and enjoy all aspects of basketball with likeminded people; both competitively and and for fun.
We are one of the most diverse clubs on campus with many different nationalities, ages and exerience being represented. There are two official teams based at the Colchester campus (1st Team and 2nd Team) with additional social teams for those that may not want to play at the higher levels or just want to get involved in trying a new sport.
At the end of the day though, we are all part of one club, united by our passion for the sport of basketball, and regularly get together to enjoy the more 'social' side of being part of the club...
1st Team
The Mens' Basketball 1sts will compete in BUCS South East 2nd Tier this season. The team narrowly missed out on promotion to division one finishing second behind the only unbeaten team in the South.
In recent times the Men's Basketball 1sts have a staggering record, reaching the conference cup semi-finals in 4 consecutive seasons, 3 of which making it all the way to the final.
2nd Team
The gap between the 2 Colchester based teams lessened last season with the Men's Second Team gaining promotion to the BUCS South East Tier 3 after winning the league in their first season. Although drawn in tough league last season they held their own while at the same time making it to the quarter finals of the conference cup, beating two Tier 2 teams on the way.
Both teams need as many members and supporters as possible to make Essex a fortress, attendence to games during the cup runs were unbelieveable and created a great atmosphere.
