Bikini Basketball League

A new kid on the block ... but they don't wear bikinis ... the players wear sports bras and boy shorts.  This is the Bikini Basketball Association an American women's basketball league.  This sport is trying to follow the footsteps of beach volleyball.


When beach volleyball started in the 1920s it was the nudists who were the early adopters.  The concept was later on adapted by others until it became a popular outdoor sport.

Bikini Basketball is gaining traction, just look at the number of teams signed up. The team names are very creative and imaginative.  So far it hasn't reached yet the shores of New Zealand but I've heard of some people talking about it and probably going for it in the near future.  Perhaps by next summer?  Watch this space!
