URBOND’s sports programme offers open sessions for basketball, football and volleyball to which all participants are welcome regardless of their age, background or fitness/skill levels.
During the sporting events, we take the opportunity to invite members of the local authority, along with those from different faith groups as well as students and the locals. We use these events to bring together a diverse crowd so that we can actively build relationships between members of our local community.
Community Basketball
We organise two basketball events per year, the age of attendees can range between 16 to 50, being a mix of both men and women. Through URBOND basketball events, we have been able to mix people all walks of life, bringing together people in uniform and the minority groups (being of course both men and women) joining in and building relationships with each other. To book a place, a team or interested in volunteering or sponsoring, please email info@urbond.org.
Community Football
Open sessions for members of our community to come together to play football and keep mentally and physically healthy and build relationships. Weekly sessions are on Wednesdays, 8pm – 9:30pm at Charles Dickens Activity Centre. To book your place, please email info@urbond.org. Football tournaments are organised in August yearly.
