Boston’s favorite summer basketball league, the Boston Neighborhood Basketball League (BNBL), is back as the 47th annual season kicks off on Monday, July 8.

Established in 1969, the BNBL is the oldest neighborhood basketball league in the United States. Teams play one another weekly to vie for the league championship title in three
divisions for boys and girls including 18 and under, 15 and under, and 13 and under.

Coaches must pre-register their teams in the month of May, and the BNBL runs from
July-August. For more information, contact Charlie Conners at [email protected]
or (617) 961-3093 .

The BNBL promotes healthy lifestyles and exercise while nurturing community bonds. Over 2,500 players on 280 teams will participate in this year’s league at 20 sites throughout the city. BNBL is played at Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) community centers and select city parks.

The 2019 season will end on Friday, August 27, after the conclusion of all playoff games.

BNBL also offers a free Pee Wee Developmental program for boys and girls ages 6 to11. Pee Wee BNBL is offered at various locations across the city in Charlestown, Franklin Park, Grove Hall, Mattapan, Roslindale, and Roxbury. This program teaches young players the basics of basketball in a fun and non-competitive setting. Space is limited.
