Known by most as the WBBL, our league is over 50 years old and is considered one of the top youth sports organizations in the Southeast. All players make a team and all players play in each game.
Our regular season runs during the normal basketball season: teams are put together in October, while games (and practices) take place in November, December, and January. 15-18 year olds finish their regular season in early February.

Each WBBL age group averages 25 teams, so games can be scheduled with similarly skilled teams (5-6 year olds and girls league will have fewer teams). Having such large groups of teams for all age groups is very rare and we are proud to be able to offer excellent team sports for kids. The league also accepts fully established teams into the league.

All games are played in big gyms with lots of seating; High Schools or Middle School gyms around West Knoxville. The big arenas allow plenty of seating without fans sitting on top of each other. Click here for a complete list of gym directions.
