Manchester Basketball Meetup

All agesFri
📅 24 Apr 2026
📍 M12 4TF

MAXIMUM 20 PEOPLE To help us manage attendance, ensure fairness, and process refunds, please follow the simple rules. If you're not on the attendee list, DO NOT attend. If you cancel with less than 12 hours notice, you will not be refunded. If you can't attend the whole session, do not attend. Because teams are arranged in advance, it throws off the entire session for everyone if someone can't attend the whole session. If you sign-up and then cannot attend, you must change your sign-up to "not going". Trading spots in the comment section DOES NOT count as being signed-up. You must sign-up & pay to attend. Do not message organisers to ask if you can attend or to "add you if someone drops". Finding a slot, and watching for openings when people drop, is solely your responsibility. NOTE FOR NEW BEGINNERS: Although we have players with a very wide range of experience, the sessions aren't designed as training sessions. There are no drills or coaching on the basics. If you are a true beginner, the session likely will be more than a bit overwhelming for you.
