Who is UCLA Club Basketball?
We are a self-run and funded group of 17 student-athletes, three student managers and a coach (former player) who share a love for the game of basketball. Club basketball has offered us the ability to represent not only UCLA, but our friends and family on a national level. We are currently top two in the nation and and number 1 in our conference with aspirations to win the national title. We've worked hard all year to get to this point, but to move further we need financial support.
More about Club Sports at UCLA
Club Basketball is one of several amazing Club Sports Organizations here at UCLA. However, we are responsible for all financial implications of travel, uniforms, tournament and league fees, staffers and coach. Throughout the years we have charged dues to our players, but between the financial stresses of school and housing we can only provide so much. This has also led our team to being in debt as well. To allow our players and staffers to excel on and off the court we will need all the support you can give.
We won our conference tournament April 1st against number one ranked USC and have automatically qualified for Nationals! This year our national tournament is hosted in Erie, Pennsylvania for the opportunity to win the National Club Basketball Association championship that happens April 21st -23rd. Our team is in great positioning to win it all as we will be in the running for a top 3 seed among the 8 teams that will participate in the tournament in just our first year in this league! We have a signature wins over top teams in the nation like 4th ranked UCONN and two wins over 1st ranked USC Cardinal. Additionally, we have runner up finish in the SoCal Classic tournament in November that featured 18 teams from across the country.
In order to make it out to Erie, PA we need some extra help! Due to the turnaround being so quick to Nationals flights and hotels are really high in price. Any donation you can give will be extremely helpful for our team! Spreading the word is just as powerful as well. We appreciate anything you could do for us!
