National Gay Basketball Association

National Gay Basketball Association

The National Gay Basketball Association also known with its acronym NGBA is a GLBT sports organization which exists to promote gay and lesbian (through its National Lesbian Basketball Association subsidiary) participation in basketball. NGBA is an international, inclusive, integrated, gay, lesbian, and gay-friendly association that unites athletes and culture through basketball.

Founded in 2003 by Mark Chambers[1], who also co-founded the Lambda Basketball League, to help LGBT players create city leagues, travel teams, and to allow individual players the ability to find a place or team to participate in LGBT basketball events that are held around the world.

The organizational board, consisting of Mark Chambers, Ted Cappas,[2] Jeff Hermann[3] and Rob Smithermann,[4] help NGBA incorporated in May 2005.

The National Gay Basketball Association played a key role in the success of the 2006 Chicago Gay Games basketball event by introducing four new categories in men and women's brackets, A division, B division, C division, 35 and older, and 50 and older 3 on 3 half court, Basketball hosting the most teams in the history of the Gay Basketball.

The first official NGBA event was hosted by Salt Lake City in October 2006.[5]
