BASKETBALL ACADEMY
UC College takes immense pride in its illustrious history in basketball, with a legacy
that extends beyond the state of Kerala. Over the years, our Men’s Basketball team
has produced outstanding players who went on to assume influential roles in
promoting Physical Education in various capacities.
In the past, UC College was a dominant force in the Kerala and Universities, securing
multiple championship titles. Our All-Kerala intercollegiate Basketball tournament
has become a significant event on the sports calendar of Kerala. In the 1960s, our
Basketball team reached new heights, boasting remarkable achievements and
producing renowned players who represented the university, state, and even national-
level tournaments.Furthermore, in 1996, we emerged as champions in the first college
games organized by the Kerala Sports Council, showcasing our commitment to
excellence in the sport.
To recapture those glory days and nurture young talent, UC College is thrilled to
announce the launch of its Basketball Academy for boys and girls, commencing from
10th April 2023 with a summer camp in the newly renovated C.P.Andrew’s stadium
