Doha, Qatar: Basketball fever is gripping Qatar Foundation’s Education City as the first Jr. NBA League in Qatar tips off, bringing together nearly 450 girls and boys from across the country to represent all 30 NBA teams.
The league, which began last month and will take place over several weekends, concluding with the finals on June 7-8, is being hosted by Qatar Foundation (QF), in collaboration with the NBA, and supported by the Qatar Basketball Federation.
Designed to promote the core values of basketball such as teamwork, respect, and perseverance, the program aims to foster a love for the game from a young age and encourage grassroots participation, while increasing involvement at all levels of the sport.
The NBA’s Her Time to Play program, which provides opportunities for girls and women to play basketball and pursue careers in coaching and athletic leadership, is running alongside the league, and a series of panel discussions and teaching clinics are being hosted as part of the initiative.
