M.C.C.B.L.

Men’s Competitive Church Basketball League

What is M.C.C.B.L.?

The M.C.C.B.L. is a city wide organized competitive Basketball league for men age 17 and older. We will play two 20 minute halves by college rules. Halftime will be five minutes. There will be two certified referees for each game, with a scorekeeper and scoreboard.

Where and when are the games?

All games will be held at Immanuel Baptist Church's Christian Life Center (1415 S. Topeka)  Games will be on Monday nights , Games will begin the first week in January.

What does a team consist of?

Each team needs to consist of at least 8 but no more than 10 players. We would like all the players to attend the same church, but it is not required.

How much does it cost?

The league entry fee is $45 per player. This includes a jersey to play in, referee for each game, and a minimum of eight games.

How do I sign up?

Once you have organized your team, call or email one of the league managers. At this time the team captain will need to fill out a roster sheet, and have everyone sign liability waivers. Your player entry fee will also be required at this time. Space is limited, so sign up soon.

About Us

Our History:

M.C.C.B.L. was started in 2007, by longtime friends and Basketball fans Eric Wilson and Adam Thomsen. We started MCCBL not only as a way to play some organized basketball, but as a way to connect with other Christians in the community. Our vision is to one day have dozens of churches from Wichita and the surrounding areas participating in MCCBL. In the future, we hope to host games at multiple locations several nights per week, and run numerous "seasons" throughout the year. We would appreciate your prayers as we move forward towards our goal of uniting Christian men in our community through our passion, basketball.
