Frequently asked questions
Sporta MD lists partner basketball courts across several districts of Chișinău, both open-air asphalt courts and indoor sports halls. Filter the venue map by basketball to see only the courts that support it, with the address, opening hours and facilities for each one.
Indoor halls in Chișinău generally start around 80 MDL per player per hour, depending on the venue and the time slot. Many outdoor courts in residential courtyards are free to use but cannot be reserved — if you need a guaranteed slot at a specific time, book an indoor hall.
Yes, and this is the common case for people who have just moved to Chișinău. Open matches show how many places are left; you take one place and the remaining spots fill from the community waiting list.
Yes. 3x3 is played on a half court with one basket, three players per side, a shorter shot clock and a single running clock rather than four quarters. It needs six people instead of ten, which makes it far easier to organise on a weeknight.
Outdoor courts are cleared in dry cold but become unreliable from December to March. Indoor halls in Chișinău run all year, are heated and floodlit, and are the reason winter basketball keeps going at all — expect them to book out earlier in the week than summer courts do.
