Maine Grassroots Basketball League

Reduced Uncertainty & Elevated Competition

The MGBL ensures consistent, high-quality competition by featuring ability-ranked divisions for both boys and girls in each grade level. By capping each division at eight teams, the league provides the most competitive matchups, allowing every team to focus on playing their best.

Structured Format & Streamlined Planning

The MGBL is structured like national circuits such as MADE Hoops and EYBL, featuring three regional sessions. Teams play four games in each of the first two sessions to set up seeding for the Championship Weekend. This regional model also helps clubs plan their travel in advance.

Focus On The Game

The MGBL prioritizes a professional atmosphere, providing all games with two officials, trained scorekeepers, and site managers. This frees coaches and players to concentrate solely on the competition.

Enhanced Fan Experience

Committed to affordability, the MGBL strives to keep gate fees low for families. In-depth game coverage by a team of experienced videographers will be complemented by weekly player and team profiles.

Competitive Selection Process

The league operates on an invite-only basis, with teams selected based on their performance in the previous year and their showing at the Fall Showcase. This competitive selection process is designed to invite the eight best teams per age group, ensuring a high level of competition regardless of whether they are a small independent club or part of a larger organization.

Building Maine Basketball

Operated by a passionate Maine-based platform with deep knowledge of the state's basketball scene, the MGBL is dedicated to fostering the growth of the sport.
