The NABA Tournament
NYPAA has been a proud member of the prestigious North American Basketball Association (NABA) since 2005. NABA, founded in 1989, is an esteemed association that brings together Filipino immigrants in Canada and the USA, as well as players born in these countries with Filipino lineage. This affiliation underscores NYPAA's commitment to fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie among Filipinos across North America.
One of the most anticipated events on NYPAA's calendar is the annual NABA tournament, held during the Labour Day weekend. This tournament is a significant gathering that sees teams and players from various NABA member cities in Canada and the U.S. come together in spirited competition. When hosted in the U.S., it becomes a pilgrimage for many, who drive long distances from Canada. Despite the lengthy journey, the trip is a cherished experience, marked by scenic views, designated rest stops, and the joy of shopping at outlet malls. This event is more than just a basketball tournament; it is a celebration of community, creating unforgettable summer memories for all involved.
