Community Basketball League,

About the event

The Community Basketball League (CBL) is the biggest grassroots league in London with over 1000 active players representing over 100 competing teams across the capital.

With divisions covering U12’s, U14’s, U16’s, U18’s, U20’s and U25’s for both males and females, participating clubs are guaranteed plenty of action and some healthy competition to push teams to play their best.

The aim of the league is to provide an exciting competitive outlet for both new and emerging teams across London. The CBL makes it easier for community basketball teams to enter into organised competitions without the heavy financial outlay of hiring basketball courts, refs, officials, insurance and all the other costs that make participating in National League competition difficult and often prohibitive for local clubs.

Games take place weekly in regionally located central venues, where all teams within a division play on the same court, enabling us to share resources and provide a tournament-like atmosphere every week.  We cover all games online with weekly game reports, MVP’s, league standings and player/team features – keeping players, coaches and supporters all connected to London’s leading grassroots action.

We are committed to continually improving the league to ensure players, coaches and supporters experience the most positive, enjoyable and inspirational grassroots competition possible so they are inspired to continue to keep on playing, coaching and developing within our sport enabling us to grow the game from within.

Why should you sponsor?

We are currently searching for new companies and organisations to work with the community basketball league for the 2017/8 season. Last season was really exciting and we plan on making this season bigger and better.

As well as exposure via social media we can provide website presence, courtside branding, local newspapers mentions and other opportunities for marketing.

We will work with you to ensure your brand is effectively marketed working towards generating consumer preference as well as brand loyalty. We are also open to discuss any other opportunities that would benefit your company.

Community Basketball League (CBL) are a charitable community sports organisation who focus on using sport as a tool to develop positive social, academic, physical and vocational change in young people,  particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds.  We are an umbrella organisation who currently manage and co-ordinate the development of some of the biggest and most successful community sports programs in England, while developing both nationally and internationally recognised competitions and events.

Understanding sports have the potential to attract, engage, and nurture the interests of young people, we strive to utilise that interest in introducing and developing skills that support development in all areas of their lives.

Basketball, in particular, is the sport of choice of inner-city youth. The fast, exciting, flamboyant style of the game and its social influence, provide the perfect platform to engage and relate to young people. Through our programs, we build upon these relationships and provide support and direction towards a positive end. Our agenda is to use the game of basketball to better prepare young people for the game of life, developing the characteristics and transferable life skills that contribute towards good citizenship, responsibility, respect and the pursuit of excellence and individual achievement in all the young people we reach.
