How to get started with basketball

Basketball is played at clubs, in teams by age and level. There are also recreational groups that train without playing in a league.

  1. Pick a club near youThe list above shows who each club is for and whether it offers a trial training. Bring indoor shoes with soles that don't leave marks.
  2. Ask for a trial trainingYou train along once or a few times with a group at your level, before you decide. Write to the club in English if you don't speak Dutch.
  3. Become a member if you like itThe club places you in a team. Membership fees differ per club and are usually paid per season.
