THREE BASKETBALL FANATICS. FOUR LOCAL CHURCHES. ONE BOLD IDEA.
What began as a humble plan to run a mini league quickly turned into something far bigger than we imagined. With strong backing from the churches, the United Church Basketball League (UCBL) was born — later evolving into what’s now known as the Brisbane Youth Basketball League.
Rooted in South Brisbane, we grew fast — not just in numbers, but in heart. From a handful of players to over 500 athletes from all walks of life, united by their love for the game. Alongside us, a crew of passionate volunteers stepped in, helping turn our small vision into a thriving movement.
But this was never just about basketball. It was about building a platform — not for profit, but for purpose. A league that gives the local people a shot, on and off the court.
From weekend games in the park, we’ve risen to interstate showdowns — and now, we’re lacing up for the global stage.
And we’re only just getting started.
