The National Association of Amateur Ball Players (NAABP™) is one of the top rated youth basketball programs in the United States. Our program is designed to teach basketball fundamentals to all participants in a fun and exciting atmosphere.

Play with Your Friends
Players can register to play NAABP™ basketball as an individual or as a team. So if you're already assigned to a team you can continue to play with your neighbors and friends. If you're not assigned to a team we will do our best to assign you to a team. Either way you'll be able to compete and learn the game of basketball at your own pace. The NAABP does not guarantee a coach will be in place for every team. All coaches are parent volunteers. The NAABP does provide access to online training material for all volunteer coaches.

Look Like the Pro's
NAABP™ players wear the best uniforms in the nation. Our standard uniforms are made of 100% Pro Mesh with tackle twill (stitched-on) letters and numbers - a $75 value (shipped from our offshore supplier). NBA/WNBA Replica uniforms are available as an upgrade. Teams must register on or before October 31st in order to receive the standard NAABP or NBA Replica uniforms. Teams that are created after October 31st will receive a dazzle uniform from one of our local suppliers.

Exciting Rule Changes
Division 1 (NBA) / Division 2 (NCAA)
Review NAABP Handbook

During the 2005-2006 winter basketball season the NAABP™ introduced Division 1 (competitive) and Division 2 (recreational) play. Division 1 play is for experienced teams while Division 2 play is for new teams or teams that consist of players just learning the game of basketball.

Teams will be assigned to Division 1 (competitive) or Division 2 (recreational) after the NAABP Jamboree weekend. The NAABP Jamboree will allow the league office to evaluate the skill level of all registered teams. There will be a Division 1 and a Division 2 Champion in each age group!

Volunteer Organization
The National Association of Amateur Ball Players is comprised of 100% volunteers. Although we can assign your daughter to a team we cannot guarantee a coach will be in place. Therefore, we encourage parents to become volunteer coaches.

Updated Player and Coaches Training Information
The NAABP™ has developed online training material for it's players and coaches. Our training material will help improve the overall skill of our basketball players and assist with game day preparation for our volunteer coaching staff. Parents are encouraged to become a volunteer coach.

Refund Policy
The league office will issue a full refund between September 1st and October 31st. After that time we will issue a 40% (partial) refund since the league office would have paid the required association, membership and insurance fees to our national partners. Partial refunds will be issued until December 31st. After December 31st the league office will not issue refunds.
