who are members and associate members of the association. Teams compete
in three divisions based on their basketball experience and skills. Approximately
25-30 teams participate each year. Games are played on Sunday and Monday
nights at St. Edmund's Academy in Squirrel Hill. The season begins in
the first or second week of January and runs through approximately the
middle of April. Members and associate members interested in participating
