Basketball Ireland inks alliance with junior NBA

Basketball Ireland has teamed up with the global reach of the NBA to create an exciting junior programme which will kit teams out in their favourite NBA colours.

The league and Basketball Ireland will form its first alliance to create a Jr NBA Basketball Ireland League for boys and girls aged 11-12.

It will feature 10 Irish clubs who will each partner with three local primary schools to create 30 teams. Each of the 30 teams will represent an NBA team and will receive corresponding NBA team-branded uniforms for their games.
