CNIBA Cleveland Northern Ireland Basketball Academy

Creating Opportunity Through Basketball

The Cleveland Project is a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization founded to provide school-aged youth in Northern Ireland access to quality coaching and competitive opportunities to participate in and observe all levels of the game of basketball. Our program reignites a partnership founded in the mid 1980s when a group of Cleveland, Ohio businessmen helped sponsor and promote the game in Northern Ireland.

Registration is open for our next program year. Inquire below.

"I love, I LOVE coaching enthusiastic kids! And the Cleveland Project has been very successful at getting school kids to be enthusiastic about basketball. I’m so happy to be part of this program to help these kids further themselves mentally and physically."

— Coach Kelvin Troy

Big cheers coming from Dáithí and his classmates at Sleibhe Dhuibh! 📣💯

Please take 5 minutes to visit www.donate4daithi.com to read about this incredible young man's story and find out how you can help.

Dáithí has been waiting for a heart transplant for six years and his family campaigned tirelessly for the introduction of Dáithí’s law, which means all adults in Northern Ireland will automatically be considered as potential donors unless they opt out.

Dáithí was born in October 2016 with a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which basically means that Dáithí was born with half a working heart with the left side not forming correctly in the womb.
