“A project which developed due to the vast array of talent in Leeds, the Leeds LDM National League basketball programme gives players an opportunity to play regular fixtures against national league clubs across the north of England. ”
Junior National League Programme
The Basketball England JR National League (NBL) provides a platform for talented junior players to play against each other on a regular basis. We use our NBL programme as a way to progress talented individuals into competitive competition, alongside recieving weekly high level coaching to support their development. We have a pathway in place to ensure that we keep our recreational and NBL programmes separate, whilst ensuring every opportunity is given to our young people to showcase their talents at a higher level.
