Basketball Team

Hello. I'm Emir Şener. I am a final year student of Mechanical Engineering at Balıkesir University. I am also the captain of the University Basketball School Team. Our school team was established in September 2022 with the aim of participating in the leagues of the University Sports Federation. We conduct our training sessions at Burhan Erdayı Sports Hall and the sports halls of the School of Physical Education and Sports (BESYO). In September, our player count initially started with 15, but it fluctuates between 13 and 12 as we approach tournaments. If we count our regular training sessions, we first had our group matches. Five matches were held at Balıkesir University Burhan Erdayı Sports Hall. Then our training sessions continued three or four days a week, leading up to the subsequent promotion league matches. Our last promotion league matches lasted for 5 days. We successfully completed all of them in Ankara. We compete as a team in the basketball leagues of the University Sports Federation. Among our achievements, we became the runners-up in the group matches, earning the right to participate in the promotion league. In the promotion league, we finished as third in our group and successfully returned to our home court. Our team is open to anyone interested in basketball at the university. As for the conditions for joining the team, after passing the basketball intelligence and physical fitness tests, anyone who wishes can join the basketball school team. Personally, among all other advantaged, basketball has enhanced our aptitude for team work, as it does in all sports and team sports. It is one of the major factors that foster unity, camaraderie, and harmony within the team. I wish success to everyone taking the university entrance exams. We welcome you to Balıkesir University and the Basketball Team.
