It has begun! Duplays’ Dubai Women’s Basketball League started last night at the Dubai International Academy in Emirates Hills. A solid group turned out for the innaugural night and Duplays hopes to build the league every week, adding more teams and individuals.  Already 2 new teams and several new women have contacted us to start playing next week.

Team #1: The Hawks, aka "The Founders"

Whether you play every week or haven’t played in years, the great thing about this women’s league is the opportunity to get back on the court and get a great workout in a friendly, social atmosphere. It was amazing to hear players tell us they hadn’t played organized full-court basketball in 3 years to 15 years!  The time off didn’t matter as everyone eased back into the game, with confidence increasing on each possession!

Do you know a woman who wants to play weekly organized basketball? Thinking of joining yourself? Visit the Women’s Basketball League page for more details, or email basketball@duplays.com.
