ABOUT US
Who are we?
Elite Basketball is the first-of-its-kind house league program in Bahrain, designed around player development and community access. Our mission is to give more youth across the Kingdom the opportunity to play organized basketball consistently.
We take pride in being an inclusive league — open to all players regardless of background or experience — and in delivering a professional, NBA-like experience within a fun, recreational-style environment.
Why the name Elite?
We believe in excellence — in the quality, experience, organization, and delivery of everything we do. We hold ourselves to high standards and strive to run the best possible program for our athletes, participants, and their families.
We're on a mission to reshape the basketball culture in Bahrain by creating more opportunities for players to grow, compete, and be seen. Our goal is to showcase the depth of talent that exists here — among players, coaches, and youth — both local and expat.
There’s a vibrant community invested in the game, and we believe Bahrain deserves recognition on a larger stage. Our program is Elite because it's built by the community, for the community.
What makes us different?
We are not a typical basketball training academy or club like many other programs in the country — nor do we aim to be. We believe that kids in the Kingdom simply don’t get enough opportunities to play organized games. School leagues in the region often fall short in providing meaningful experiences for players to compete, grow, and develop as athletes.
There are far too many programs that only offer training. But what’s the point of investing so much time and money into training if players never get the chance to test their skills, apply what they’ve learned, and grow through real game experience?
That’s why we created the first open house league program — a platform where players can consistently showcase their talent, play structured games, and improve by competing regularly.
We are proud to be Bahrain’s first house league program focused on both development and exposure. What makes our league unique is that it’s open to all — we’re not exclusive or selective. We welcome players from all backgrounds and ability levels, giving everyone a chance to compete, grow, and most importantly, enjoy the game of basketball.
Our Community Partners
We thank our partners for their dedication and support of our basketball community, players, and families in Bahrain. It is their support that allows us to provide a high-quality program.
