Welcome to the Manchester Area Basketball League (MABL) website. Currently we have 3 Men's Divisions and 1 Womens Division incorporating teams from all over Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas.
Can all teams and officials please ensure they are registered via the new Basketball England Membership Portal well in advance of the MABL 2019-2020 season starting on W/C 30th September (Cup preliminary round W/C 23rd Sept).
The process for registering has changed significantly from previous years.
For the 2019-2020 season there will be no MABL member cards due to the new BE Membership Licence having Photo ID.
Trafford Basketball Club are running U13 sessions for girls. If you know of anyone who may be interested please forward the flyer linked below.
Sessions run on Sundays 10am-11:30am (Manor Academy, Sale, M33 5JX) and Wednesdays 6:30pm-8pm (MEA, Wythenshawe, M22 9RH). First session is FREE.
The 2019-2020 MABL Handbook is now available, a must read for all team admins to ensure the season runs smoothly.
The 2019-2020 fixtures are now on the website. All teams are reminded to check their team details (court, kit, tip, contact, etc) and liase with their divisional representative as soon as possible regarding any issues with fixtures.
The committee would also like to welcome both Lino Figueiredo (Disciplinary Officer) and Michael Case (Mens Premier Division Representative) to the committee.
Videos of the 2017 Playoff Finals held at Amaechi Basketball Centre are available on our YouTube Channel.
MABL are looking to offer local companies the opportunity to sponsor our league.
Basketball is one of the few sports in the UK where participation levels are increasing year in year out. Last year the number of people playing basketball rose by 21,800 to 152,900 each week (source Basketball England).
In Manchester and the North West in particular the sport is extremely popular, with several professional and semi-professional teams in the area and with the development of the new Basketball Performance Centre at Belle Vue all having a positive effect on the sport within the region.
By sponsoring MABL potential sponsors will become involved in one of the fastest growing sports in the UK and gaining access to the potential that the popularity of the sport can provide.
We welcome your suggestions and thoughts on sponsorship and would happily discuss any creative ideas you have.
