GENERAL LEAGUE INFO

     

The Virginia Basketball Academy's most popular and fastest-growing programs are its youth basketball leagues/teams.  All leagues aim to serve our local community to consistently carry out VABA's Mission, Vision, and Values

The most important factor in the quality of a youth sports league is the coaches.  While VABA's leagues strive to provide the best in organization, facilities, uniforms, and all of the essentials to running a sports league, the highest quality basketball instruction (professionally-trained coaches) performed by exemplary individuals who believe in the mission are the top priority of all VABA programs.  For this reason, our staff invests a great deal of time and energy sharing our expertise, by training, educating, preparing and overseeing the volunteer coaches entrusted with the tutelage of our young student-athletes.  This is our pledge to you: this youth basketball experience will be the best overall youth basketball league your child has ever participated in!
