Junior League
Vikapu Elite Academy together with partners such as FRUTZ and AFROLETE have been running the first junior basketball league in Kenya for 2 years.
The aim of the league is to identify talent at an early age and create a pathway for players to transition from one age group to another up to the senior level, where they can play for the national team.
North African countries such as Egypt have mastered this model and the effects are visible in their performances globally. Our proven player development system has produced numerous national team players - boys and girls who have proven to be very resourceful.
