Six teams will compete at the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex from September 17–26, 2026
The All About Ball League (AABL), in partnership with the Dominica Amateur Basketball Association (DABA), will host an international basketball exposure tournament at the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex from September 17–26, 2026.
The tournament will feature six teams competing in preliminary games, semifinals, a third-place playoff and the championship final.
The participating teams are:
Games will be played at 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on most tournament nights, with the semifinals scheduled for Friday, September 25, and the third-place playoff and championship final set for Saturday, September 26.
AABL is a professional basketball exposure tournament designed to provide aspiring players with a structured, competitive environment in which they can showcase their abilities and strengthen their basketball portfolios.
The tournament will offer players access to professional game footage, photography, interviews, livestream coverage, social-media promotion and networking opportunities.
While participation does not guarantee a professional contract, salary or scholarship, AABL provides players with a legitimate platform to compete, be evaluated and increase their visibility within the international basketball community.
Approximately 16 visiting players from the United States are expected to participate in the inaugural tournament. Many have played college basketball and are continuing their journeys toward further opportunities in the sport.
The visiting athletes have a combined social-media following of more than 250,000 people. Throughout the tournament, they will be encouraged to share their experiences in Dominica, including games, training sessions, cultural activities, local cuisine, natural attractions and interactions with Dominican youth.
This digital reach provides an opportunity to introduce Dominica to new basketball, travel and sports audiences in the United States and internationally.
AABL will give Dominican players an opportunity to compete against visiting athletes in a high-level environment while gaining access to professional game film, interviews, player profiles, live statistics and digital-media coverage.
The tournament is also expected to create networking and career-development opportunities for local athletes interested in pursuing basketball opportunities outside Dominica.
AABL’s wider development vision includes youth basketball camps, mentorship, leadership training, coaching development, officiating development and community-engagement activities.
These programmes are intended to demonstrate to young Dominican athletes that basketball can open pathways to education, scholarships, international travel, mentorship, personal development and professional opportunities.
Beyond the competition, AABL aims to contribute to the development of Dominica as an annual destination for international basketball and sports tourism.
Visiting players will be encouraged to experience and promote the country’s culture, food, communities, beaches, waterfalls, nature and adventure activities.
The tournament can also generate economic activity for accommodation providers, restaurants, food vendors, transportation operators, tour providers, retail businesses, event workers, photographers, media professionals and other local service providers.
AABL plans to produce livestream broadcasts, game highlights, player interviews, professional photography, promotional videos, behind-the-scenes footage and documentary-style content throughout the tournament.
This content will help promote participating athletes, teams, sponsors and Dominica long after the championship game has concluded.
The long-term objective is to establish AABL as an annual international basketball festival that combines competition, player exposure, youth development, community engagement, media production and sports tourism.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
