MELODY x 介绍
MELODY上海女子篮球俱乐部成立于2004年5月22日。她是一个专注于草根女子篮球的社区体育俱乐部。MELODY的创始人第一次来到上海是在1997年的冬天。受她的哥哥们的影响，她八岁开始接触篮球。但由于当时草根女子篮球的资源和机会有限，她第一次接受正规篮球训练是在她高中二年级的时候。
2002年在厦门高中毕业后，MELODY的创始人又回到上海念书。此时已经离开高中篮球队的她很希望可以继续打篮球。但她并没有找到她想找的平台。两年后，当她领悟到她有多么想念打篮球时，她想到在上海组织自己的篮球队。而她真的那么做了。
MELODY是国内业余女篮最早成立、最有规模和最有组织性的俱乐部之一。她也是全球支持发展业余女篮的核心一员。拥有来自俱乐部成员们和管理团队的支持，MELODY一直持续鼓励身边的女篮爱好者坚持打球，并且希望这样的精神能继续感染到世界各地的女篮爱好者们。我们努力给业余女子篮球提供更多打球的机会。虽然我们不是一群专业女篮球员，我们拥有对这项运动的热情。MELODY是以非盈利的模式运营，她由一组出勤率高的成员们志愿管理。MELODY希望把上海（随后其他城市，甚至其他国家）的业余女子篮球发展到更高一层楼。
数年已经过去了。经过风雨，MELODY现在已有一群固定的成员每周一起打球。这些年来，在MELODY成员们的支持和媒体的关注下，MELODY上海女子篮球俱乐部已慢慢被业余女子篮球社区认识。MELODY成员们来自不同地区和经历的篮球爱好者。即使如此，MELODY相信还有更多女篮爱好者正在寻找我们，寻找可以打篮球的机会。

MELODY x INTRODUCTION
MELODY Shanghai Women’s Basketball Club was established on May 22nd 2004. She is a community sports club focusing on basketball for women at the grassroots level. MELODY’s founder came to Shanghai for the first time in the winter of 1997. Influenced by her brothers, she started to get involved with the sport of basketball at the age of eight. However, due to the limited resources and opportunities for girls’ basketball, it was only until her junior year in high school that she first had the experience of proper basketball training.
After graduating high school in Xiamen in 2002, MELODY’s founder returned to Shanghai for further education. Having left her high school basketball team, she was eager to continue playing basketball. However, she did not find what she was looking for. Two years later, realizing how much she missed playing basketball, she thought of the idea of setting up her own basketball team in Shanghai. And she did just that.
MELODY is one of the oldest, well established, and structured amateur women’s basketball clubs in the nation. She is also a key player in amateur women’s basketball development in the world. With support from the club’s team members and management team, MELODY has been spreading our passion for this game to encourage participation of female ballers around the globe. We aim to provide more opportunities for women to play basketball at the grassroots level. Although we are not a group of professional players, we have a very strong passion for this team sport. Operating as a non-for-profit sports club, MELODY is managed by a group of committed team members who volunteer their time for the club. MELODY strives to take women’s basketball development at the grassroots level in Shanghai (and eventually other cities, countries) to another level.
Years have passed. Through thick and thin, MELODY now has a group of committed team members playing together every week. With the support of its members and media attention throughout the years, MELODY Shanghai Women’s Basketball Club has gained recognition by the local women’s basketball community. MELODY members are basketball enthusiasts from different basketball backgrounds from all around the world. Even so MELODY believes that there are still many more ladies out there looking for us, looking to play this team sport.
