For the last 50 years the WBBL has concentrated only on basketball. Our league offers year-round basketball for young athletes ages 5-17. We are currently one of the largest rec basketball program in East Tennessee, with over 200 teams and over 1500 boys and girls playing in our WBBL Rec League Season. We are proud to offer independent boys and girls league in all age groups.

The WBBL fosters a culture of sportsmanship, education, and basketball development. We strive to make players and coaches more successful on and off the court through the game of basketball.

We understand the value of fun and work ethic and implement both in all of our programs. Parents, players, and coaches continue to choose us as their Knoxville basketball organization because of our commitment to their needs and our known reputation for sportsmanship.

Mentoring:

The WBBL is highly interested in developing basketball players and a life time basketball enjoyment, but also coaches and referees. There is a pathway at the WBBL to become a youth coach and/or referee. The WBBL is always looking for the next leaders of Knoxville's basketball community to come from our older teenagers and young adults.
