Kentucky Basketball Developmental League

KBDL is a Kentucky based fundamental developmental basketball league.

We are a developmental minor league system built to develop and train young talent for the International Professional Basketball Leagues. More than a dozen players from our league signed professional contracts with FIBA teams last season.

The teams we are building have an interest in PLAYER DEVELOPMENT; Winning a KBDL title is great, but not the entire goal. If we end the season with an entirely different team than the one we started with because the players have moved up, then win or lose, we have done our job. Our basketball teams are an active part of their communities and good corporate citizens in not just taking from a community, but giving back and becoming part of that community. Coaches, Athletes and management will chosen be from the local area as much as possible.

We recruit players that have the ability (Maybe they did not go Pro because of size, small overlooked college, etc. There are so many ways that a player can be overlooked), train them and play them in a league DESIGNED to place players in International Professional Basketball. We will play by FIBA rules, with FIBA trained Coaches (and former International Players) and Referees. When an International Scout sees our players, the scout KNOWS that our team members can play basketball and that they can play International Professional Basketball. ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
