OPEN SESSIONS Being one of the only Sports Clubs that offer this opportunity, the Open Sessions were officially introduced last year as a new initiative by the HWUD Basketball Club to provide a friendly, inclusive and supportive atmosphere for everyone! If you are looking for a more laid-back environment to play, our Open Sessions welcome players of all abilities, specifically people who are new to the sport or complete beginners. These social and fun sessions are great for meeting new people and also cater to members that want to participate in pick-up sessions. The sessions are held once a week in order to give all members a chance to enjoy the sport. We also include opportunities that focus on teaching various basketball skills to beginners! THE OFFICIAL TEAM With our well established men’s and women’s teams, we represent the University in tournaments throughout the UAE. The team is selected based on talent. We welcome committed, high performing players to the HWUD Basketball Team that value progression and sportsmanship! We have team training twice a week and are trained by a professional coach, who has a highly successful basketball career with several accolades under his belt. We look forward to welcoming new players to further strengthen our teams! HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER Log in to your account with your student email.
