BE Awards 2025: Local League Provider of the Year

Your Basketball League (YBL) is the winner of the 2025 Local League Provider of the Year award.


A national leader on PlayHQ and an early adopter of BE's new platform when it was introduced, the YBL has over 2,600 Basketball England members across 50 different competitions.


With so much activity to have over 90% of games live scored is an unbelievable effort.


The YBL expanded in recent times to not solely provide leagues in the West Midlands region but to provide competition as far south as Gloucestershire, Abingdon and Oxfordshire, and in the East; Northampton, Swadlincote and Kettering to name a few. 


The YBL has also supported its players, coaches, clubs and officials with courses, mentoring, education and funding. 


Basketball England's Participation Programmes and Local Development Manager, Nick Holloway, said:

"Leagues like the YBL are the backbone of the sport in this country, providing an invaluable competitive outlet for so many players in the West Midlands and beyond.


"They also received a grant through the Sport England Movement Fund, where they put young females through officiating courses, continuing their reputation as an organisation committed to upskilling their members.


"With an incredible number of participants and array of competitions on offer, this award is richly deserved."


Fixture Release - Monday 29 June 2026

Fixtures for the 2026/2027 season have now been completed and are available for Club Secretaries and Administrators to view in PlayHQ. These will be released publicly via HoopsHQ on Friday 31 July 2026.


Thank you to all clubs that submitted the Confirm Club Entry form. Your preferred tip times and playing days have been scheduled at the time when these fixtures were generated.  Clubs that did not complete the form have been allocated a default time and day.


Zonal divisions have been arranged around the Cup Division schedule to avoid clashes for teams competing across multiple age groups (e.g., U13 Zonal and U14 The Challenge Cup). The first round of the Beth Matthews Cup is scheduled for Week 15 (w/c Friday 11 December), but fixtures may be played at any point before the end of that week.


All fixtures across all divisions may be played in any order from Friday 4 September until Sunday 28 February.


While every effort has been made to accommodate club preferences, this has not always been possible. Clubs that did not provide playing information should not contact the YBL team; but arrange your fixtures accordingly with your opposition.


Clubs have until Friday 28 August to review fixtures, tip times, playing days, and venues.

Please use the rearrangement feature in PlayHQ to make any changes.


Under 9 and Under 11 fixtures must be rearranged through the YBL, as these divisions cannot use the standard PlayHQ rearrangement function.


The YBL will support clubs up to this date. From Saturday 29 August, the YBL Fixture Policy will come into effect.


We strongly recommend familiarising yourself with the following ahead of the 28 August deadline:


If your club needs to contact us, please email info@YBL.org.uk or message us on WhatsApp at 07810146224.


Messages sent to personal numbers will not be responded to.


We are excited for the upcoming season and look forward to getting underway.


Kind regards,

The YBL Team
