Development Teams

Our Development Squads are competitive training and game squads for Trinity students who want to improve their skills, play regularly, and potentially progress to the Varsity or Super League teams. They bridge the gap between social basketball and elite-level play.

Any full-time undergraduate or postgraduate student at Trinity College Dublin is welcome to try out — including international and Erasmus students.

Attend our trials at the start of the academic year (usually in September). Follow us on Instagram or subscribe to our Newsletter for trial updates.
