A new era has just begun in UAE sports with the launch of the Jr. NBA League in Abu Dhabi. This initiative is part of a groundbreaking multiyear partnership between the NBA and the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), that will see the UAE capital host first-ever pre-season NBA games in October this year.
The youth basketball league will see the participation of 450 boys and girls from 30 schools across Abu Dhabi.
During the opening ceremony, the DCT Abu Dhabi and the NBA also held a draft event that saw each school assigned an NBA team.
The junior NBA league will offer the aspiring basketball players of the country a great platform on which they can learn new shooting, dribbling and passing skills.
