The amateur basketball landscape of Dominica is gearing up for another thrilling stretch of competition, as the Dominica Amateur Basketball Association (DABA) has officially confirmed the continuation of its 2026 national season with the highly anticipated Week 3 slate of matchups. Scheduled to run from May 6 through May 9, 2026, all eight scheduled games will take place at the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex, building on the early momentum of the young season.
After two weeks of on-court action, the early phase of the tournament has allowed squads across the league to find their competitive rhythm, with the initial league rankings starting to solidify, according to an official statement from DABA. This coming week’s matchups are projected to deliver tight, hard-fought contests that will deepen growing rivalries between teams and highlight standout individual talent, as all participating clubs fight to claim an early upper hand in the overall season standings.
The full Week 3 game schedule kicks off on the evening of Wednesday, May 6, with a 7:00 PM opening clash between Dr. Darroux PSC Falcons 2 and Possie Pacers, followed by a 9:00 PM showdown between Police Sports Club and BAA Sharks. Thursday, May 7 brings another doubleheader: West Coast Ballers will face off against D-Treads Blazers 2 at 7:00 PM, with Dr. Darroux PSC Falcons 1 taking on Happy 767 SC Dominators at 9:00 PM. Friday, May 8’s two games open with Denise Charles Seahawks matching up against Convenience Plus Mahaut Gators at 7:00 PM, and Marigot Sunrise going head-to-head with Prowlers at 9:00 PM. The week of competition wraps up on Saturday, May 9, with Perky’s Pizza 767 SC Young Ballers playing D-Treads Blazers 2 at 7:00 PM, and a primetime 9:00 PM matchup between Dr. Darroux PSC Falcons 1 and D-Treads Blazers 1 closing out the slate.
As the competition intensifies through Week 3, DABA notes that teams across the board are shifting their focus to three key pillars of success: consistent on-court performance, crisp execution of game plans, and utilizing the full depth of their rosters. Long-standing powerhouse programs including Happy 767 SC Dominators, the Dr. Darroux PSC Falcons, D-Treads Blazers, and BAA Sharks are all targeting strong results to climb into better positioning early in the season. Meanwhile, up-and-coming squads such as West Coast Ballers, Possie Pacers, and Prowlers are eager to build winning momentum and upset the established order to claim surprise spots in the ranking.
Across the league, Week 3 is viewed as a critical turning point in the early portion of the season, largely because many teams will play multiple games across the four-day stretch that can drastically shift their standing. Players and coaching staff alike have framed these upcoming fixtures as make-or-break opportunities to lock in a strong position ahead of the push for playoff qualification later in the season.
Beyond on-court action, DABA has issued a call to action for basketball fans across the island, urging supporters, player families, and casual followers of the sport to turn out to the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex and cheer on their favorite teams. Organizers expect lively, packed crowds for each night of competition, creating an electric atmosphere for both players and spectators.
“This is where the competition truly begins to take shape,” shared a senior DABA representative in a press comment. “Week 3 will showcase the full depth of basketball talent we have here in Dominica, and highlight the passion that keeps this sport growing across our island.”
All scheduled Week 3 matchups are open to general public attendance, with no entry restrictions for spectators. Fans who cannot attend in person can stay up to date with game results, highlight reels, and additional league updates through DABA’s official social media channels.
