The Women's Blue-Chip Basketball League was founded in November 2004 by Willie McCray as a professional women's basketball league. With the help of co-founders of Cortez Bond and Prentiss Broadway, WBCBL has provided players with top-level competition and professional scout exposure from around the world.
WBCBL's mission is to provide a very competitive basketball for women in the United States. The level of competition varies from former college players to former NWBL, WNBA players and international players today.
As of August 2017, the WBCBL has 37 teams across North America. The season usually operates from late April to early August and ends with a National Tournament hosted by one of the WBCBL member teams.
The 2017 WBCBL Championship Game was won by Georgia Soul over St. Louis Surge, 64-63, after the Surge missed a last-minute effort to win the game.
