The idea of the league is to provide a platform for proper competitive basketball for the players, and also for them to showcase their skill to scouting coaches to potentially be part of varying national teams.”

An award ceremony is held for crowning of winners once all four age divisions have finished their respective leagues. These age divions are: U11(mixed teams), U14(boys and girls team), U16(boys and girls teams and U19(boys and girls teams).
