Welcome to the Edmonton Basketball Association

The Edmonton Basketball Association (EBA) is an adult recreation sports league for Edmonton and the Edmonton area.

This league runs games for Senior Mens (18+) and Senior Womens (18+). There are no minor teams (U18). All games are played at the Saville Community Sports Centre in City of Edmonton. Teams in this league vary extremely in skill level (from ex-university/college players to school/community experience). Teams are responsible for forming their own rosters.

Need To know Information

All teams in the EBA need uniforms with numbers on the front and back. Style and colour are up to the team. Reversible jerseys are recommended in case opposing teams have matching/similar uniforms. Proper jerseys are needed by the start of the regular season or penalities will start being issued if failing to comply. All teams need to have at least one good game ball (size 7 for both men and women) for a game and a working time clock (stop watches are acceptable).

On score sheets, FULL NAMES of players are required. If possible, write names in Alphabetical order for easier administrative purposes. Score sheets need to be submitted by the winning team within 2 business days following the game or can also be placed in the EBA DROP SLOT at the front desk immediately after the game. Fines will be administered if failure to comply.

In the regular season, only players registered on your team roster who have signed a waiver form are permitted to play. An individual may only play on one team in our league. If questions regarding eligibility are brought forward, that player must provide photo identification otherwise that player will be considered ineligible. This needs to be recorded on the score sheet along with contacting the Executive Director.

To be eligible for the regular season, a player must play in at least one seeding round game. To be eligible for playoffs, a player must play in at least 3 games during the season (2 in the regular season).

For more information, please read the league rules and bylaws or contact the league's Executive Director.
