What Is ABL?
The Average Basketball League (ABL) is a community-rooted league that uses basketball to build power, joy, and safety for Black, Brown, and marginalized youth. It’s more than sports—it’s part of a larger vision to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline and create healing-centered alternatives that actually work.
ABL is hosted by The Only Pipeline, a movement-driven organization that centers the leadership and liberation of young people impacted by the carceral system.
