Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about joining US Basketball, membership fees, training times and more.
Who can join US Basketball?
US Basketball is for adults aged 18 and over. We have no youth teams — all our members play in senior teams.
How do I become a member?
Fill in the interest form on our website. Our committee will review your submission and invite you to a trial training. After that we match you to a team that fits your level and preferences.
Can I try before I join?
Yes. You can train along for free twice to see which team suits you best before deciding to become a member.
What are the membership fees?
Competition members pay €330 (trains 2× per week), €300 (1.5× per week) or €270 (1× per week) per season. Recreational members who train without playing matches pay €170 per season.
Is there a student discount?
Yes. Students receive a 10% discount on their membership fee.
When and where do teams train?
Competition teams train on Wednesday evenings (75 minutes) at the Amstelcampushal; some teams also train on Friday. Home games are played on Sundays at the Amstelcampushal. Our recreational team trains on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Apollohal.
What is the difference between a playing member and a training member?
A playing member competes in NBB league matches every week during the season. A training member trains with a competition team but does not play matches — they may play a maximum of 3 games per season.
How do I cancel my membership?
Send an email to secretaris@usbasketball.nl — this is the only official way to cancel. Cancellation for the new season must be done before 1 May. Cancelling after 1 May costs a one-off fee of €50. No membership fees are refunded for mid-season cancellation after the season starts on 1 September.
