The grand opening ceremony of Season 2 of the Corporate Basketball League (CBL) took place on May 11, 2023, marking the beginning of an exhilarating journey for basketball enthusiasts. The event witnessed the presence of eminent personalities from the sports fraternity, including Shree Ajay Patel, Senior Vice President of the Indian Olympics Association, as the Chief Guest.

The Corporate Basketball League (CBL), envisioned by L J University, conceptualized by L J Institute of Sports Management and supported by the Gujarat State Basketball Association, Ahmedabad District Basketball Association, and Oasis Sports & Recreation, aims to provide a platform for talented basketball players to grow and showcase their skills. The league featured a total of 8 participating franchises, each building their teams through an auction process. More than 250 players participated in rigorous trials for a chance to be shortlisted and receive bids during the auction. This year’s auction saw an impressive distribution of over INR 8 lakhs among 130 international, national, and state-level players as auction money.

Our mission is to provide budding players with a platform to elevate their skills and experience the thrill of a professional-level league. This experience will resonate with them for a lifetime and become an integral part of their DNA. Our vision is to continually raise the bar and revitalize the sport of basketball with each passing season, providing players with focused and high-quality game time against worthy opponents. In the long run, this will create a strong foundation for talent development and ultimately raise the overall quality of the sport in Gujarat. Students of L J Institute of Sports Management play an integral role in managing a league of this stature and the learnings from this invaluable exposure stay with them for a lifetime.
