The basketball teams will be playing in the Gloucester Hall at Fort Regent, Jersey's largest sports centre. This is a 2-court sports hall which allows for viewing from both ends at balcony level and at ground floor in bleacher seating. The floor is granwood.
Numerous changing rooms are available and there is on-site catering. Parking is plentiful, but participants can easily walk from the town centre using the special escalator system - so that their energy remains intact for the games!
