The NCBBA-W has officially cancelled the Spring 2021 season. The league appreciates the patience of its member teams as it worked through this process of trying to host a spring 2021 women’s basketball season. Unfortunately, there are only 3 teams in the NCBBA-W league that have reported that they are allowed to compete this spring. Thus, given these numbers it was determined to be impossible for the NCBBA-W to successfully host a spring 2021 women’s basketball season. Additionally, at this point on the calendar, waiting any longer for more teams to get cleared to compete will not leave sufficient time for the league to release a schedule and complete a full regular season during this semester.
The NCBBA-W will be shifting its focus towards a reboot for the 2021-2022 school year. League Representatives will be in touch in early March with steps towards planning for next season including registering your team, updating team contacts, and assigning a date for the annual NCBBA-W online league meeting. In the meantime we encourage any teams that are allowed to compete this spring to schedule exhibition games amongst each other as they see fit. Should your team need contact information for any of the teams allowed to play, please reach out to NCBBA-W League Representatives.
NCBBA-W | North Atlantic Conference
Mascot: Bona Wolf
Location: Allegany, New York
Write-up: St. Bonaventure University has had a women’s club basketball team since 2016. In 2019, they joined the NCBBA-W basketball league to compete against other club teams around the area. With a wide variety of players from freshmen to seniors, these Bonnies not only promote teamwork on the court, but also team bonding off the court. Building friendships along the way, this team has shown the importance of hard work and perseverance, while always having fun through making silly Tik Tok’s or playing intense games of knock-out.
Interesting/Fun Facts: A few of our players are managers for our D1 women’s basketball team, one of our players is a magician.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS – AMHERST
NCBBA-W | New England North Conference
Mascot: Minutemen
Location: Amherst, Massachusetts
Write-up: This team began with a few women who shared a passion for basketball, and loved to play more than anything. After 4 years of applying, we have finally become an official organization at UMass. We have all put our heart and soul into making this team a reality, and cannot wait to play at a more competitive club level with the NCBBA. We are excited to give other women the opportunity to not only just play for the team, but become a family just like we are.
Interesting/Fun Facts: This is the first ever Women’s Club Basketball Team at UMass Amherst, and before we became an official Registered Student Organization, we used to play intramurals as a team (champions 3 years in a row) and play in pick up games at the Recreation Center!
