                            CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
                           SECTION 302 OF
                         THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

Certification of CEO

I, Daniel T Meisenheimer III, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of the United States
Basketball League;

     2.  Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
          under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this quarterly report

     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
          information included in this quarterly report,  fairly present in all
          material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
          cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
          this quarterly report;

     4.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
          defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
          registrant and we have:

          a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
             material information relating to the registrant, including its
             consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
             those entities, particularly during the period in which this
             quarterly report is being prepared;

          b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's   disclosure
             controls and   procedures and presented in this report our
             conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
             and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
             report based on such evaluation; and

          c) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
             control over financial   reporting that occurred during the
             registrant's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially

<PAGE>

             affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
             registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

     5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based
          on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the
          audit committee of registrant's board of directors  (or persons
          performing the equivalent function):

          a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
             design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting
             which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
             ability to record, process, summarize and  report  financial
             information; and

          b) any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or
             other employees who have a significant  role in the  registrant's
             internal controls over financial reporting.
