Caribolakeranjang: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Outdoor Basketball Court

This outdoor court located inside Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) formerly known as Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia (KUSTEM). In 2007, major enlargement of the area was done to put in more hostels for new courses's students. Aside from new hostels, they also upgrade their sports facilities, with new stadium and of course this court been build in.

Okay enough with the history. This court equips with glass backboard, with anti-slip paint surface of the court. Perfect condition for the bounced ball but will result worn out your shoes faster. I love this type of surface, well you might have different opinion. Nothing feel better than grip graps you get, better shooting and better ball handling!

Previously lots of friendly game organized here, with well known east coast basketball clubs from Kemaman and even from Kota Bharu Kelantan. Last time 4-Sides friendly matches were organized here between Eastsider BC (Kuala Terengganu), SESMA Alumni (Kuala Terengganu), Aces BC (Kemaman) and also KB Blades BC (Kota Bahru). This gathering was one of the initiative to develop and promote basketball in east coast Malaysia, indirectly create good bonding in between players and also create healthy communities. The players were very passionate and not stingy to shared each other experiences in basketball. More event like this to be organized more in future!

Caribolakeranjang: Chendering Basketball Court, Kuala Terengganu

Chendering is well known as Industry area, which mostly comprises with manufacturing factories and workshops. Who can expect there is very good condition of semi-open basketball court within this area? Chendering is located approx around 30 minutes from centre of Kuala Terengganu City. If you are first time to crash this court, you might want to get assist from locals around this area. Or get a friend who had been there before to guide you, since its quite difficult to reach the courts because of many junctions around this area.

The court is built up with grandstand stage and surface finish was good. Area under the backboard (inside the 3-point line) and all perimeter lines were coloured using paint. To ensure your safety please ensure your kicks not worn off because its a bit slippery. Of course you do not spoil your game and worst is your body memory of the drills, with injuries. 

There is time when the area are used for some events, you might want to book the court before invite the teams for friendly or tournament. The players do not visit the court on daily basis (i think) but you will love it here if you come in group. Quite numbers of tournament be held here, include MSST and also others open basketball tournament. Earlier this year the was open tournament organized by Persatuan Pengusaha Bengkel Kuala Terengganu. Was not directly involve with the tournament, but invited by friends to join their game because of some of the original players was not available. Why not right? Always a Yes when come to basketball!
