Oldschool Basketball League : Season 7

Old School Basketball was founded by Ronald "NINO" Luna in 2007 in Singapore, since then the OSB has won mulitple games and been 36 championship tournaments from Singapore, Perth WA and now in Sydney Australia. With partners in Sydney (Kreme Salvilla, Jed Miyata, Mikehael Malquisto) We decided to run OBL competitions around Sydney with 3 different venues like Baulkham Hills, Concord and Lidcombe in 6 different days (Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri) This league was created not only to play basketball but to create friendship, partnership and trust of the community. We are active in supporting charities and commaradery. Our mission is to build a trusted, respectful and competetive and still fun competition in NSW. We also promote healthy lifestyle and welcome any nationality with different race, culture, religion and location.
