Inclusive Basketball

Young people with SEND from across London will take part in an Inclusive 5-a-side Basketball Tournament at the Score Centre, representing their school or borough. The event is open to girls and boys with hearing, visual and learning impairments, with a focus on fun, inclusion, and participation. Schools or clubs that need extra support or training before entering can contact us. The event gives players the chance to compete against different schools and boroughs, encouraging new connections.

Together, London Youth Games and Chaotic Community are working to make sport more inclusive for everyone. This event and all our ParaGames events are proudly supported by Chaotic, a UK-based competition platform dedicated to supporting families with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Chaotic partners with and sponsors a wide range of community organisations, schools and charities that share its mission. For founder Shana Kennedy, this mission is personal as her son Reyon is autistic.

Some of GB basketball’s biggest names began their journey at London Youth Games – including Luol Deng (Croydon), Steve Bucknall (Lambeth), Shanice Beckford-Norton (Newham), Savannah Wilkinson (Barking & Dagenham) and Temi Fagbenle (Haringey).
