Hello; hola; ni hao!

Anyone playing rec sports? Basketball? Soccer? Tennis? Please help!

I'm always down to ball. Very rusty, but if you need some one to fill the short white kid (relatively tall over here) who can't jump very high role, I'm your man.

Are there any semi organised leagues beyond pick up?

Hello guys, I know there are some nice basketball courts in South China University of Technology. These courts are on the ground floor with no walls around, no sunlight or rain can affect us but still we can enjoy the fresh air. It's like an out-door basketball court with ceiling to pretect us from rain and sunlight.

The place is near line 3 Wushan Metro station, about three metro stations away from Gangding.

Let me know if you are interested. I can help book the court
