"I am so excited about the competitive standard of the UBL and the quality of players in the other teams. The UBL is another high-level competition for players who can also be studying at the same time which means we do not have to choose between sport and study.”

And that is a wrap for UBL for 2024...
With thanks to our northern partners @Swisherr as the naming rights sponsor of both the Men's and Women's team.
Swisherr in the south providing the head coaches and much of the team and game management.
In just our second year, the men finished Top 8 and the women finished Top 4 coming up against the winners of the last two national titles Latrobe Uni. All around the athletes report a great playing and travelling experience with the league, sanctioned by Basketball Australia, placed somewhere between Senior Basketball League and NBL1.
The pathway from school based athlete development to student athlete at the University of Tasmania has become clear and there are dozens of students taking that pathway to play for UTAS, coached by Swisherr, in the UBL.
