Bring Your Own Team

SBL allows coaches/schools to bring their own teans at a discounted rate.

Teams can wear their own uniforms/jerseys as long it is not from another league or teams can purchase league jerseys.

Entry fee for league is $300 per team without gym being provided for practice, if league is to provide practice facility for coaches bringing their own teams the cost will range from $400 -$500 per team depending on gym and how many days and hours used.

Our rates are not only the lowest in the West Valley by far, but one of the lowest in entire Valley for team entry fees. SBL also offers multi-team discounts.

School team rate is $250 per team.

Developmental Program/Travel Team

Southwest Basketball League offers a developmental program for kids that wish to play at higher level. However, our kids are not just being thrown out to some club team, where in most cases they just sit on the bench and wait for their turn to play.

SBL has created its own travel teams for players 2nd -8th grade that will compete throughout valley/state in tournaments as well as other basketball leagues.
Players will not be placed on travel teams until the league and/or travel coach feels the player is ready.
Travel team basketball is for advanced players that have played the sport for several seaons, but there are a rare exceptions of kids who have never played organized basketball and are ready to play club basketball.

As with all our divisions SBL will make sure kids playing on travel teams will get a fair amount of playing time. Our travel teams play against some of the best teams in the state.

All Girls Division

Southwest Basketball League is the only league in the West Valley and one of few in the entire Valley that offers a local girls only basketball league. The girls division is usually one of our most competitive divisions, which ranges from 5th -8th grade. As with all our divisions girls that want to play at higher level can join one of our travel teams and play in tournaments throughout Valley. Girls league play is offered year round.
