Porter Basketball Academy is teaming up once again with Mid Missouri Sports Park to bring back the PBA Fall Basketball League, and registration is officially open for the 2025 season. After a standout first year together, organizers say this season is shaping up to be even bigger.
The league runs from August 16th through September 24th and welcomes players from third grade all the way through high school.
Games and practices will be split by grade level and gender, covering third and fourth grade boys and girls, fifth and sixth grade boys and girls, seventh and eighth grade boys and girls, and high school boys and girls divisions.
Schedule and Locations
For younger players in third through sixth grade, games will be held on Wednesdays for boys and Thursdays for girls, running from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Older players in seventh grade through high school will play on Saturdays, depending on registration numbers, or Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Games and practices will take place across three Columbia locations. Mid Missouri Sports Park at 4180 East Broadway will serve as the main hub for the league, powered by its youth athletics facility.
Additional games will be hosted at The Crossing on Southland Drive and Dline Sports on East Boone Industrial Drive, giving families multiple convenient spots around town.
Sign Up Before Spots Fill
Organizers are encouraging families to register soon, noting that last season filled up quickly and they expect the same demand this time around. The cost to join is $160 per player, and registration can be completed online at PorterBasketballAcademy.com or by scanning the QR code included on the league flyer.
The partnership between Porter Basketball Academy and Mid Missouri Sports Park began last year and quickly became a favorite among local basketball families.
Combining PBA’s coaching expertise with Mid Missouri Sports Park’s facilities gave players a competitive but supportive environment to develop their skills heading into winter season play.
With divisions for nearly every age group and multiple locations across Columbia, the fall league aims to make competitive basketball accessible for kids at every stage, from beginners in elementary school to seasoned high school athletes looking to stay sharp before their school seasons begin.
Families interested in learning more or securing a spot for their young athlete are encouraged to visit the registration link soon, as spots are expected to go fast once again this year.
