General Club Information:
History: Women's Club Basketball began in 1995.
Practice Schedule: We practice twice a week for two hours, typically Sunday and Tuesday evenings at Blomquist gym on campus.
Competition Schedule: We play the majority of our games in the fall quarter. We compete against several Chicago community and Division III colleges. We also play the club teams from other Big 10 and Division I schools from the Midwest. This season, we are playing a weekend tournament at Miami of Ohio along with the club teams from University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, University of Dayton, University of Kentucky, Duke, and others. In the winter, in addition to a few more games against local competition and the University of Illinois, we play in a Chicago women's league once a week. The highlight of our season is the annual Nike Shootout Tournament at DePaul University, which is a fun event that attracts some of We don't normally have formal games in the spring, but we try to continue playing pick-up once a week on Sunday nights at Blomquist gym.
League affiliation: None
Club Dues: $80/year
Try-outs: Try-outs are usually the first Sunday and Tuesday evenings after the start of classes. Look for us at the Activities Fair during the first week of classes to find out specific dates!
Frequency: Practices are twice per week, and games usually start towards the end of October and continue at a rate of one to three per week until Thanksgiving. Games during winter quarter are less frequent--usually on weekends. When we play in the Chicago area, travel time to games varies typically between twenty minutes to two hours or so. When we play at tournaments like Miami, we leave for the entire weekend and travel about five hours both ways. However, that is the farthest that we travel.
Practice locations: Primarily Blomquist gym (located on Foster street, just west of Sheridan). Sometimes we'll play pick-up at Patten gym, on the corner of Lincoln and Sheridan. Home games are held at Blomquist, SPAC, and sometimes Welsh-Ryan Arena.
