Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA programs in Africa form part of NBA Africa’s mandate to grow the game on the continent through leagues, tournaments, clinics, in-school initiatives and court build projects. Through collaborations with basketball federations, government entities and private companies, Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA programs in Africa have not only reached millions of youth throughout the continent but have also given boys and girls their first experience of playing organized basketball within their regions. Participating boys and girls not only benefit from on-court activities but also off-court initiatives, equipping them and their communities with necessary life skills, enabling them to advance their lives beyond the court.
