Support Trinity Basketball
Trinity Basketball has grown into one of the most vibrant, successful, and inclusive sports communities in Trinity College Dublin. But behind every win, every training session, and every opportunity we offer lies the generous support of people like you.
As a student-run club, we rely heavily on donations to sustain and grow our programmes. Your contribution directly helps us:
- Keep basketball accessible and affordable for all students
- Invest in equipment, facilities, and coaching to support player development
- Run community outreach initiatives that bring basketball to local schools and youth groups
- Support our teams as they compete nationally and internationally
- Create memorable experiences through events, tournaments, and club activities
No matter the size, every donation makes a genuine difference. It helps ensure Trinity Basketball continues to thrive — on the court and in our community.
If you’d like to support us, please consider making a donation today. Together, we can keep building something special.

Balls, training gear, medical supplies, and technology all cost money — and we simply don’t have enough funding for the equipment our expanding programme requires. Your support ensures our players train safely and perform
at their best.

Club Trips & Travel
Club Trips & Travel
Club Trips & Travel
Travel is key for competing in leagues, Varsities,, and national and international tournaments. Right now, funding limits where we can go and how many players we can bring. Your support helps cover transport and accommodation costs, ensuring Trinity can proudly compete at every level.
Community Outreach
Club Trips & Travel
Club Trips & Travel
We’re committed to making a difference through our partnership with NEIC Trojans, delivering coaching, camps, school sessions, and after-school clubs in Dublin’s inner city. But outreach takes resources we don’t always have. Donations help us keep inspiring and supporting young people who look up to Trinity’s players as role models.
Court Time
Club Trips & Travel
Club Events
Right now, we rely on the Trinity Sports Centre, which is in high demand from many clubs and teams. We can’t afford to book external venues, and our limited court time restricts how much we can train and develop. Donations help us secure more court hours and keep pace with our growing membership and competitive ambitions.
Club Events
Club Trips & Travel
Club Events
Events like Colours, pub quizzes, and awards nights build our club spirit and connect players and alumni. But running these events costs money we don’t always have. Donations help us keep these traditions strong and make Trinity Basketball a true community on and off the court.
