For school organisations
Is your school already playing in our competitions?
Junior Classic Schools is the Gauteng schools championship, and for most players it is the first organised basketball they play. If your school competes – or wants to – this is where the detail sits: how the season runs, what a school commits to, and our safeguarding policy.
Non-profit arm
Basketball reaches further than the scoreboard.
ICSL Assist is a registered non-profit company running the development, access and community work around the competitions. Separate entity, same ownership, same courts.
About ICSL AssistFrom 2027
The senior league becomes the Super Basketball League.
The competition formerly known as ICSL keeps its history, its clubs and its record books – and takes a name of its own. ICSL stays as the organisation that runs it, alongside every other property in the portfolio.
