How the Northern Basketball League Season Works

If you’re thinking about joining, here’s what to expect.

League Format

  • 6–8 teams (depending on registration)

  • 8–10 game regular season

  • Weekly scheduled games

  • Two certified referees per game

  • Running clock with standard stop-time final minutes

  • Playoff bracket for top teams

  • Championship game + awards

Game Night Atmosphere

We want energy.

Music during warmups. Team benches engaged. Scoreboard lit. Stats tracked.

This isn’t casual — but it is fun.

Player Expectations

  • Respect referees

  • Respect opponents

  • Compete hard

  • Show up consistently

Trash talk is fine. Disrespect is not.

We’re building something sustainable — and that requires leadership from the players themselves.

Registration & Teams

Players can:

  • Register as individuals (we’ll assign teams), or

  • Enter as a full team roster

Spots are limited. Once rosters fill, the season locks.

Final Word

The Northern Basketball League is about bringing serious hoops back to Taos — without losing the spirit that makes this place special.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to lace them up again…

This is it.
