The OBA Development League was created to complete the developmental pathway for grade 9 & 10 high school student-athletes and for current OSBA member institutions.
Eligibility
For this season, male athletes competing for a Development League team must attend the same academic institution; female athletes do not need to attend the same academic institution.
Grade 9 and 10 high school aged student-athletes who will compete in both the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association AND the OBA Development League must attend the same academic institution and be registered on the senior roster prior to the start of the regular season.
