Specialties: The Play Forever League (PFL, run by Never Too Late Basketball Camps Inc., a non-profit organization devoted to helping adults improve their skill level) is a league for players who want a no-hassle, well-organized, professionally run, totally fun and competitive basketball experience. Appropriate for high novice through low advanced men and women adult players with a premium placed on cooperative competitive play. We emphasize sharing of the ball and sharing minutes, playing the game "the right way". Through a "Draft Day" evaluation process, the league makes the teams (though players can request 1 or 2 or 3 specific teammates) with every effort made to create teams of equal strength. Further distinguishing it from other leagues, we print full and accurate software generated NCAA-type box scores to distribute at game's end. Cumulative season team and individual stats are kept as well and published at the league's website. Referee and electronic scoreboard. 10 regular season games and 3 playoff games for all ten teams. Ball movement, team play, equal playing time, and competitive but sportsmanlike spirit are emphasized. Skills competitions (including NBA style three-point shooting contest) and awards (voted by players) banquet at season's end. We think it is a great league, a respite from the overly-competitive, intimidation of many other sports competitions. Established in 2004. The Play Forever League grew out of the instructional side of Never Too Late Basketball (NTL, a non-profit adult basketball business). At NTL's clinics, players did drills and went through informal scrimmaging, but the players wanted a more structured game environment. We held an earlier version of the league where players brought their own teams in, but it quickly devolved into a league where more ordinary recreational players couldn't compete. We thought there was an opportunity to gather players with a fairly wide range of skill levels under the same umbrella if we (the league) made the teams and insisted upon fair play and sportsmanship and respect for one another. We also decided to make the experience as close to a college level experience as we could, thus full stats, box scores, website with season cumulative stats updated (with occasional commentary) weekly. The league has been a great success.
