History
The St. John's Ladies' Basketball Association was formed in 1965 to accommodate women outside the secondary and post-secondary school systems who wished to play basketball on an organized basis. Beginning with 3 teams, the organization had grown to 10 teams by 1973 and included 16 teams in two divisions by 2000. Individual teams usually sought corporate sponsors; in the early years these included radio stations VOCM, CJON, and Newfoundland Power. Some teams, however, were sponsored by church and community organizations such as the General Hospital and by Memorial University. Games were played at the Torbay gym.
