A club can compete in several leagues. First-team and youth-team placements are separate; a roster listing does not guarantee an appearance in a particular game.

About the athlete

Jaama is a junior forward/centre at Columbia in 2026–27. Before college, she played for TalTech/Nordaid and then Södertälje BBK, winning the Swedish championship in 2023–24.

The Tallinn native has represented Estonia in youth basketball and at the 3x3 U18 World Cup. Columbia’s roster also credits her with the 2025 Ivy League championship and the 2026 WBIT title.

On 23 October 2026, Jaama was named among Estonia’s 22 national-team candidates for the November qualifiers against North Macedonia and Romania. This was a candidate list, rather than a final game roster.
