The Global Womens Basketball Association (GWBA) is a pivotal part of American women’s pro-am basketball. Founded in 2016 by Sonya Nichols, the GWBA brought competitive play to a regional stage with early teams like the Flint Monarchs, Milwaukee Aces, Akron Innovators, and Illinois Starletz. The league crowned its champion each season through the GWBA Playoffs, with the Flint Monarchs earning multiple titles and Wisconsin Glo clinching championships, including the 2023 title. While the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2024 season faced financial and venue challenges, the GWBA remains a meaningful chapter in women’s basketball history.
