'Collegiate, minor league and international Players are invited to submit resumes and biographies for consideration. We are also extending an invitation to basketball players who are based in our team cities.'

Atlanta, Ga. (March 9, 2010) --- 'I'm extremely pumped about this upcoming basketball season', said USBA president, Duane Allen Jenkins. 'Our first season is set to go and our future in the world of basketball looks very bright.' The United States Basketball Association (USBA) today made public the final roster of teams, along with the teams home arena and gymnasiums. This new minor division basketball league was originally set to open its doors in 2008. The league will field fourteen teams in three divisions. League sources states Timing is everything, particularly in business, the time is right to begin our inaugural basketball campaign. The USBA originated in July 2007. The league was born out of an effort to expand the now inactive United States Basketball League (USBL). The USBL contracted Jenkins in September 2006 to acquire his assistance to develop basketball teams in the Southeast United States. Jenkins's efforts were thwarted when the USBL ceased operations. 'The USBL decision to shut down took me by complete surprise, however after every forest fire, new life assuredly flourishes,' said Jenkins. 'The
USBA will be fruitful and multiply, to evoke our beliefs.'
The league has 14 teams in three divisions, The teams are spread out over nine southern states and play a 30 game regular season followed by the leagues championship tournament. The USBA local team tryouts will be held on March 20, 2010. The season will open on Wednesday April 7, 2010. 'I'm real comfortable in the leagues stability,' said Jenkins, and 'I feel we can make a real impact on the local charitable organizations in each of our teams cities'. The league has ties with the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots, Feeding America, Boys and Girls Club of America and local churchs. During the past Holiday season the USBA enlisted the help of the Feeding America and the U.S.M.C. to conduct a series of basketball games to collect toys, clothing and food for the needy. According to reports filed, seven of the leagues cities gave away prizes to fans that contributed toys, clothing and food.
