Embracing the Future: USADB Rebrands to ABAD

The American Basketball Association for the Deaf (ABAD) is proud to announce a new chapter in our history, rebranding from the United States of America Deaf Basketball (USADB). This change reflects our commitment to growth, inclusion, and a renewed vision for the future of basketball within the Deaf community.

Why the Change?

The rebranding to ABAD aligns with our mission to better represent the evolving needs of our community while honoring the legacy of USADB. As we transition to a new identity, ABAD aims to provide a fresh perspective and a unified platform for Deaf athletes to showcase their talents and passion for the sport. Our new domain, abad.us, symbolizes this exciting transformation.

  2. Comprehensive Sports News: Stay updated with the latest news in the Deaf basketball community. From game highlights to athlete features, ABAD will be your go-to source for all things basketball.
  3. Exciting Events: Our calendar will be packed with tournaments, clinics, and community gatherings. These events are designed to foster camaraderie and celebrate the spirit of competition.
