Selection for the University's three men's basketball teams is made following a series of open tryouts which are held during the weekend that follows Freshers Week at the beginning of Michaelmas term. Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to compete for our teams. Unlike college sports in North America, there are no restrictions on the number of years a player can compete in university basketball so long as they are a student at the University of Oxford. Because of this, our teams regularly feature former NCAA players who have exhausted their NCAA eligibility but wish to extend their college basketball careers while studying at Oxford. Incoming students who have been accepted to the University and have an interest in playing for one of our teams are encouraged to contact the head coach.
