Virginia Developmental Basketball League
League Mission:
The Mission of the VDBL is to prepare young players for life through the game of basketball. Through a structured and organized approach, the VDBL is committed to a philosophy that permeates every facet of its program. The league is designed to help young basketball players (Boys, Grades 5-8) in the Charlottesville area prepare for life and the relevant possibility of playing high school basketball. Organized and run by the Virginia Basketball Academy (The VABA Foundation), this program is set on this organization’s same two main goals: CHARACTER & SKILL DEVELOPMENT. A recognized 501c3/non-profit organization, this league maintains the same mission and purpose, aiming to serve the greater Charlottesville community by funding scholarships for all who qualify. Donations and sponsorships are vitally important to sustaining our costs and are always welcome!
League Structure:
This is not a “recreational” basketball league; rather, this is a “developmental” league. We aim to provide a controlled, focused environment where devoted coaches and student-athletes can sincerely focus on developing their skills, strive toward maximizing their potential on & off the court, and ultimately prepare for the possibility of playing HS basketball.
