CBL MISSION & VALUES
Mission & Values
Move With Purpose. Leave Your Own Legacy.
What the Community Basketball League stands for — the mission that drives the league, and the five values every player, coach, official and family carries onto the court.
To provide the most engaging, exciting and positive platform for players to enjoy healthy grassroots basketball competition in London — enabling the sport to fulfil its vast potential as a community builder and positive social impact driver across the city.
Our Mission
Sharing the Joy of the Game
We are passionate about basketball and place a premium on providing the best, most enjoyable playing experience possible for young players. Many players will play in their first organised basketball competition with us and we are committed to doing all we can to make sure it is an exciting, positive and memorable experience so they will be inspired to aspire for more within our sport.
We want to share the joy of basketball and the values of the game. We emphasise the character-building benefits our game develops in young people and strive to deliver a positive, safe and secure environment they can continue to learn, develop and progress through as they grow.
At our best, we help develop a life-long ‘love of the game’ and nurture healthy habits in the players who play in our league. We believe in the power of community and are committed to actively growing our game and the community around it. We take pride in actively playing our role in helping increase the number of players, coaches, officials, fans, supporters and advocates for our game and want our league to serve as a connecting medium for bringing people together and giving young people a platform to shine as they represent their local communities. Through the league and our member-clubs we strive to deliver new opportunities for wider personal and collective growth for all of the boroughs we reach across the capital.
