i want to create a basketball group/club.  We can meet 1 per week.  If you have any suggestions where to play, please let me know. 

Thanks

Hi, I'm Yu.
That's good idea. I'd like to play. (I haven't been playing long time actually.)
I know some small courts in district 1 and have played some times.
The best court as far as I know might be next to a big soccer court along Huyen Tran Cong Chua St.
It needs to be reserved and some fee.

I'm ok for a try , on what day did you want to play, saturday or sunday ? sound good in D1 for me
Also, can we play night ? like at 20pm ?  if we can play night I'm on every days^^

I'll play if you can find enough guys to get a game going.  There's an outside court and indoor court at 75 Nguyen dinh chieu, district 3.  Not sure how much the cost is.

spajcte

For those interested in basketball, i like to play early in the morning.  That would be a good way to start the day.  Monday-Friday.  Lets get everyone to agree on a day that best fits our schedule.

Waiting for replies!

See you soon

Benj78

What do you mean by early ?  Because i go working at 7:30am. So I'm more interested to play the eveninh, but i'm ok for the morning on week end

spajcte

I'm flexible with my schedule.  I can play some mornings and evenings.  Please post  down the time and days that you can join and play. Also, where in HCMC you live, so we can find a court somewhere in between. If anyone is very familiar with the HCMC, maybe you will know where all of the basketball courts are, Cost, time of service ETC.?  I be looking forward for all answers. Thank you

Yesterday I ve played at the RMIT University in D7, it's free from 4pm to 7pm the week and open the week end (but there is some practise club on tuesday, thurday and I don't really remember the others days). And they told me there are a lot of people who plays the week mainly the sunday. Initially the basket are reserved to the student of school, but as i look like a student they don't say me anything, so I don't know if it's a really good place.

I'm ok for monday evening

There is a misunderstood  the court where i ve played it reserved to student. (it's in RMIT University D7: 702 Nguyễn Văn Linh, Tân Phong, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam)
But I proposed to go today at 8pm like @seronkatu said in the  Huyen Tran Cong Chua street (d1) . We can meet in front of diamond plaza and then go search for the court, what do you think?
