Basketball for kids in Oslo

Persbråten videregående skole, Vestre Aker

One of the oldest basketball clubs in Oslo and Akershus, founded on 28 April 1967, with its home court in Persbråtenhallen at Persbråten upper secondary school. Hovseterhallen was the home court until 2011, and the club still uses the old Pershallen and Holmen skole for training. Most mini and junior players attend the schools nearby (Hovseter, Huseby, Voksen and the Steiner school), so the team often becomes an extension of the school crowd.
