Basketball Academie Limburg, commonly known as BAL, is a professional basketball club based in Weert, Limburg, Netherlands. The club was founded in 2013 as an academy to develop youth players from the province of Limburg. The club entered the Dutch Basketball League for the 2017–18 season after the dissolution of the professional team BSW.

History

In the 2017 offseason the professional club BSW from Weert and BAL intended a merger, which would integrate BSW into BAL.[1] Following BSW going defunct during this offseason, BAL decided to take its place in the DBL. In its debut season, BAL finished in the ninth and last place in the DBL, winning 4 out of its 32 games. The team consisted of a selection of young promising players, such as guard Sam van Dijk who was named the DBL Most Improved Player in the club's debut season.
