Basketball Associations
Basketball associations are organizations that govern, organize, and promote the sport at various levels, from local leagues to international competitions. They establish rules, organize tournaments, oversee team and player registrations, and ensure fair play and safety standards. These associations can be national, such as the NBA in the United States or FIBA globally, or local, supporting community teams. Their goal is to develop the sport, encourage participation, manage regulations, and uphold integrity, fostering growth and competition within the basketball community.
