The Premier League program provides a vibrant platform for spirited competition within a structured team environment. Comprising four teams (Black, Blue, Red, and White) and three age divisions (U14, U16, U18) it allows young athletes to develop their skills and enjoy the game. Originally "Friday Night Basketball," the league now includes more teams and age divisions. Each team, led by an HKBA coach, practices once and plays once a week, competing for the Premier League Championship. Players experience high-level training, team camaraderie, and a shared love for the game. Our vision extends beyond the court, aiming to elevate players' abilities, infuse joy, and maintain a competitive atmosphere. Archive
We will also have a Premier Youth Development League, designed for our U11&U13 divisions to gain valuable game experience before progressing to higher levels of competition. This program enhances basketball skills, enriches lives, and offers a fun, inclusive environment for showcasing talent.
Current and new HKBA players may tryout for the Premier League in their respective age divisions. All players are required to tryout for a new season.
