Registration is now open to all boys and girls in grades PK-12. NBBL is a community basketball league. There are no tryouts. All players will be placed on a team. Our goal is that the kids have fun each week and learn to play a great game better and better.
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 4:00 ON FRIDAY. IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY LATE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
The fee is THB 6,000 for all players. Players do NOT need to be ISB students but all games and practices take place at ISB.
Please note the registration fee is significantly higher than in prior years. We are trying a new system this year where parent coaches are NOT required. Coaches will be provided by Top Flight Academy. These coaches will run individual team practices during the week, not large clinics. And these same coaches will run the team on game days on Saturdays. Since we are paying Top Flight for these coaches, our fees must increase. Parents will still be permitted to coach their child’s team if they choose. The parents who decide to coach will be charged a lower registration fee of THB 3,600 for their child.
League assessments will be held on Sunday, February 25th between 12:00pm and 4:00pm at ISB gyms. An exact schedule will be sent out to all registered players and their parents.
Team practices will begin the week starting March 5th. Practices will either be held Tuesdays or Thursdays depending upon the number of players in the league.
League play will take place on Saturdays (maybe a couple of Friday evenings) and begin on March 17th. Games will continue every Saturday (except for Songkran break) and conclude the weekend of May 18th/19th with league championships.
Payment for the NBBL season must be made at the Community Activity Office (CAO) which is located next to the bookstore at ISB. The CAO is open from 7:00 to 11:00AM and 12:00 to 3:00PM Monday – Friday.
