FBA is here to empower females in all roles in basketball

Our aim is to build leagues in Greater Manchester over the next few years. Once teams are devised, we play league games for 3 weeks and then train for a week. This then repeats giving us the opportunity to put skills learnt into competitive games. The FBA have been running this program at Manchester College for a year so we know it's successful!

We have Oasis Academy (Salford), Partington Leisure (Trafford) and St Annes (Stockport) starting the week of the 17th April

The Female Basketball Association is a not-for-profit organisation where all roles (coaches/referees/players) are females - this is unique in the UK
