Sheffield Basketball Summer League Information 2017
With the SBL regular season coming to an end details of the summer competitions have been
confirmed.
The summer leagues are designed to give teams and players a chance to keep fit and have some
fun during the summer months. Subject to enough entries we will be running two leagues this
year including a Development League which will offer teams that haven’t entered a league before
the chance to do so and experience playing in an organised competition. The leagues are aimed
at players aged 16+.
The summer leagues will start on 8 June and will run through July ending in August. Games will
be held from 7-10pm on Thursday and Friday evenings at All Saints Sports Centre, Granville
Road, Sheffield, S2 2RJ.
Details of tip times and league format will be confirmed once entries are received.
The number of team entries we receive will determine the cost of the summer league and the
number of games each team will play however we do expect each team to play around 10-12
games.
The cost to enter will be between £300 & £320 and this will be confirmed once the deadline for
entries has passed. We will appoint 2 referees to all 2017 summer league games.
Each team is required to pay entry fees up front at the first fixture. Please note payment is
accepted in Cash or Cheque and these should be made payable to Sheffield Basketball League
