About Us

Welcome to the NorCal Basketball Association, your gateway to recreational basketball in Folsom and the greater Sacramento area all year long. Available for all skill levels age 5-16, friends and family can join or create a team to learn and grow together every season. We are dedicated to fostering sportsmanship, player development, and a love for the game in our indoor courts. We pride ourselves on providing a positive culture for the players, coaches, and families—a culture where the kids are more important than the wins and losses. Our journey began on the courts of Vista del Lago, where we transformed NorCal Basketball from a high school club to a recreational league committed to youth sports.

Why Choose Us

Select your choice of teammates to learn and grow with the same team every season. Friends and family highly encouraged!

Available for players of all skill levels, our commitment to fair play ensures that everyone gets a chance to participate, promoting inclusivity and player development for all our children.

We offer teams the option to practice twice a week, compared to the single practice typical in other recreational leagues, giving players more opportunities to improve their skills. Choose your practice availability at registration!

Beat the heat—play indoors & improve your skills all year long

While our games are usually held on Saturdays, we provide flexible scheduling options for teams that cannot make it, allowing them to reschedule games on Fridays or Sundays. Our games are officiated by NCOA referees from Hawkins Officiating, ensuring fair and professional gameplay.

All our games are held locally in Folsom, eliminating the need for travel and making it convenient for players and their families. One of our standout features is the championship game, which takes place at the Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings!

Our Mission

Our mission at NorCal Basketball Association is to foster community engagement and provide access to athletic opportunities for children in our area. This year, we are excited to announce our initiative to raise awareness and gather support for our league, teams in need of financial assistance, and various infrastructure improvement projects, including backboard, rim, and scoreboard replacements throughout the Rancho Cordova/Folsom/Citrus Heights/Orangevale areas.

In addition to these projects, we are committed to providing full grants to players who demonstrate financial need. We believe that every child deserves the chance to play and grow through sports, regardless of their financial circumstances. Learn more on our about page. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Title 1 schools in the Rancho Cordova City, and we believe that together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our community's youth.
