The Cleveland Northern Ireland International Basketball Academy is a foundation established in September 2021 to accelerate youth basketball in Northern Ireland as a cross-community sport. By providing sustained financial support, we support the promotion, organization and supervision of athletic competition through expert education, mentorship, instruction and coaching of youths.
Last year, 20 schools from across Northern Ireland took part in CNIBA-sponsored programs, offering more than 1,000 students the chance to learn and play basketball. Feedback from participants, schools and parents has been so overwhelmingly positive, we are expanding the program to bring basketball to even more schools in the upcoming season.
SPORT: The Great Equalizer
By participating in sport, and specifically basketball, individuals can overcome differences by cooperating and competing together as a team. Communities then become more united and tolerant as teams come together to compete with each other in tournament blitzes. CNI Basketball Academy provides the organizational infrastructure and support to make this happen.
