Purpose
The Belize Basketball Federation was originally created as the Belize Amateur Basketball Association in 1973 to organize national junior and senior male and female competitions. The purpose of the Federation is to assist and oversee the activities of local teams and organizations to ensure that the sport is conducted according to international basketball regulations and standards so that teams as well as individual players are able to effectively compete regionally and internationally. While the BBF has been in existence for some time, a new and vibrant executive was recently elected. It is their intention to increase the level of involvement by players and the general public in the hope that fun, discipline and competition of basketball can be a positive influence on Belizean youth.
The league's mission statement is "to grow and develop all aspects of basketball in Belize through collaboration, inclusion, proper organization and full accountability."

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“The chief want, in every State that I have been into, was a high and earnest purpose in its inhabitants. This alone draws out “the great resources” of Nature, and at last taxes her beyond her resources; for man naturally dies out of her.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation’s final law—
Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shrieked against his creed—”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“In the present civil war it is quite possible that God’s purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
