Detailed Information

OGBALLA was launched in 2023. It was created out of a desire to stir passion in both young and the aged who love the sport. When I am playing, I sometimes hear other people talking about getting too old to play. I would sometimes joke around, saying, “are you too old to ball or are you old because you don’t ball?” An OG Baller is someone who is ridiculously old, one might even call them Archaic, yet still they find a way to be awesome” OG Balla is someone who is getting old yet have the energy and the passion to still play. For me, basketball is that activity that keeps me going. It may be something else for you.

I believe in the power of the game of basketball to transform lives; to provide an outlet for good energy and motivation to stay in shape and feel young. Unlike many basketball players, I didn’t grow up learning the game. I actually never picked up a basketball until I was 19 years old. I grew up in Jamaica playing cricket and when I moved here I was drawn to the courts. Underestimating the skill required, I came to play and was severely embarrassed by my underwhelming performance. I actually didn’t even realize how lacking my skills were until a young girl on the sidelines announced that others should, “watch out for that guy!” I had been chucking the ball overhand at the basket.
