The NSBF started in 2006 with 18 schools in a single elimination tournament. From its inception it has been a partnership between the National Sport Commission (NSC) and YBG to develop an independent and structured basketball programme for schools.
Today, the programme has grown to include almost 50 schools participating first for ranking in five separate Regional Conferences for qualification for the National Championships. National titles are contested in three age groups and players are identified for the Junior Elite programme for a chance to be selected for the Inter-Guiana Games.
