| Introduction Adolescence is a key period to become regular practitioners of physical activity or to completely abandon it. Existing literature has set the importance of the context where activity takes place as a factor which can predict many other motivational outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyze differences that young basketball players show in the perception of important motivational variables from the tenets of Self Determination Theory according to the league they take part in. Methods Psychological Needs Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (PNSE), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) and the Intention to be Physically Active Scale (IPAS) were administered to 204 young basketball players. One factor ANOVA was used to find possible differences among players belonging to preferred federated (PF), federated competition (A) and municipal sport games competition (MSG). Scheffé post-hoc tests were use to compare groups. Results Differences were found in future intention to be physically active (I; F =3.41, p < .05) and in relatedness (R; F =3.47, p < .05). Post-hoc test revealed PF players (M=4.49; SD=.57) scored higher in I than MSG (M=4.18; SD=.73). Also, PF players (M=3.93; SD=.58) got higher scores in R than F (M=3.64; SD=.61) and MSG (M=3.65; SD=.44). No differences were found in the rest of variables: competence, autonomy and intrinsic motivation (p > .05). Discussion PF players showed higher scores both in I and R. Existing literature (Carpenter, et al., 2002 & GarcíaCalvo, et al., 2010) has shown a relation between R and adherence to the physical activity, which, in our study, could be reinforced by the higher level of I in PF sample. These players have chance of promoting to elite basketball teams which could explain their higher levels of I due to an extra-motivation. Furthermore, players from this league spend more time together due to longer training sessions, travels, etc. which can improve the quality of their friendship and so, support feelings of R (Cox, et al., 2008). It seems that players from different competitions have disparate motivational profiles and which thus should receive adapted interventions. References Cox, A.,Smith, A.,& Williams, L. (2008).
