We are the London Amateur Basketball League.  Founded in 2006, we have now become one of the largest amateur leagues in the UK.  From a mere handful of players and referees back in 2006, we now not only run our own basketball league, development programme for officials, appointments service in London and keep growing.  The league is run by the league secretary who also attends the league financial affairs with the assistance of the treasurer.  We register players, coaches and officials with Basketball England.
