Sport Eagles basketball club and Ladies National
League Division 1, with the Limerick Sport Huskies
basketball club.
TUS also participates in the Victory Scholar program
with the Sport Changes Life organisation. These
scholars have attended TUS on both the Limerick
and Athlone Campuses in recent years with various
students from the USA on the program. As well as
our American victory scholars, TUS also recruits
scholars from all over Europe with recent players
coming from Belgium, Serbia, France, and Spain.
This has really improved the standard of basketball
in TUS as the international scholars are always
pushing our Irish based players to be the best.
The basketball clubs cater for all levels be it National
League, Colleges, Local League. Our Technological
University also organises participation events such
as one-day 3x3 and 5x5 participation tournaments
designed to create an introduction to basketball
for students who want to play socially or want to try
something new before joining our basketball clubs.
