Jr. NBA is back: Expression of Interest 2021/22 now open

The Jr. NBA is back and bigger than ever with schools invited to 'Express their Interest' in getting involved with their local leagues for the 2021/22 season.

Heading into its eighth year, the Jr. NBA Basketball England league facilitates schools to compete in four regular season games as part of seven rounds of fixtures followed by an elimination playoff.

Schools who top their groups will progress to the semi-finals, with the final four schools in each league playing in the Jr. NBA Finals for a chance to be crowned as league champions.

After a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the anticipation is over and Jr. NBA will once again offer girls and boys in years 7 and 8 across the country an opportunity to represent their favourite NBA team in a quest to secure a championship ring!

There is no entry fee for taking part and each school will receive a Jr. NBA Basketball England kit of their drafted team.
