Westminster Schools Take the Court at London’s First-Ever Jr. NBA 3v3 Tournament

Earlier this month, Westminster students took centre court at one of London’s most exciting youth basketball events — the inaugural Jr. NBA 3v3 Tournament, held at Trafalgar Square and organised by London Marathon Events in collaboration with the NBA and Basketball England.

Local Talent, Global Stage

This landmark event brought together young players from across the capital to showcase their skills in a high-energy, fast-paced basketball format. And Westminster was proudly represented across both coaching clinics and tournament play.
