FAQ
The men’s team is coached by Mr Lee Boon Hian, who is currently coaching teams at the secondary level as well as at the division level. He is currently one of the coaches of Siglap Basketball Club, where they have come in 1st position in the 2019 ICBC National Basketball League Division. As for the women’s team, they are coached by Lim Jia Min and Alanna Lim. They are both representing Singapore and playing in the national team for basketball. With their young age they are able to relate and bond more with the team. We have very close ties with both our coaches. ☺
Throughout the year, we will be organising various events such as Corporate Networking sessions as well as Alumni Engagement sessions. These sessions allow us to interact with the working population over a game of basketball, and at the same time learn more about their respective careers.
As for events within the school, SMU Basketball Club is committed to supporting SMU Sports Union events such as Sports Camp and our annual beach day event Waikiki.
Finally, we will also organise our annual basketball competition; SMU 3X3 Basketball Competition. It is SMU Basketball Club’s hallmark event where we bring together basketball players from all over Singapore to engage in friendly competition right in the heart of campus.
For competitive teams, upon sign up, our respective team captains will arrange a selection trial at the next suitable training date where our coaches will then make the final decision.
For recreational team, selection will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
