January 2021 - ​​NBE, in conjunction with Caribbean Rose, made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 basketball season. The world is still being affected by the COVID-19 virus. It wouldn't have been irresponsible for our organization to hold tryouts and practices during this time. Even if the team wanted to travel restrictions imposed by the local government made that impossible. The Small Fry Basketball Association currently has dozens of Small Fry Basketball Teams throughout the United States, Caribbean, & Latin America currently being affected by this pandemic.
