The Dominica Amateur Basketball Association (DABA) will officially launch its Women's Basketball League with a special night of 3×3 basketball at the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex. The event, branded «Ladies Night», is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, beginning at 7:00 PM.
The launch tournament marks a significant step for women's basketball in Dominica, giving female players a dedicated platform to compete and develop their skills. The 3×3 format, which has grown rapidly across the Caribbean and internationally, offers a fast-paced and exciting introduction to the new league.
DABA has not yet released the full roster of participating teams or the complete league schedule, but the association confirmed that the November event will serve as the official opening of the Women's Basketball League. Further details are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The Massacre Indoor Sports Complex will host the launch, providing a central venue for players and spectators. The facility has been the site of numerous basketball competitions and is well known to the local sporting community.
Women's basketball has been gaining momentum in Dominica, and the establishment of a dedicated league is seen as a major boost for the sport. It offers players regular competition and a clear pathway for development, from grassroots to national level.
The 3×3 format is particularly suited to a launch event, as it requires only a half-court and allows for quick, high-energy games. It has become a popular way to introduce the sport to new audiences and to showcase individual skills.
DABA's initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote gender equality in sports across the Caribbean. By creating a structured league for women, the association aims to increase participation and raise the profile of the women's game.
Players and fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for November 7, 2026, and to attend the «Ladies Night» event at the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex. The evening promises to be a celebration of women's basketball and a preview of the talent that will feature in the new league.
Further announcements regarding team registration, match schedules, and other details are expected from DABA in due course. The association has urged the public to follow its official channels for updates.
The launch of the Women's Basketball League represents a new chapter for the sport in Dominica, and DABA hopes it will inspire more young women to take up basketball and pursue their athletic ambitions.
