KOBE BRYANT LAUNCHES THE LSB

WELCOME TO THE LONDON SCHOOL OF BASKETBALL

LEARN. PLAY. DEVELOP. PROGRESS.

If you’re interested in basketball, you’ve come to the right place…

The London School of Basketball (LSB) is an exciting basketball development program that focuses on growing and improving the game at all levels, 'from the root to the fruit' throughout London.

Endorsed by the Mayor of London, Sport England and Nike, alongside an All-Star team of NBA superstars, that includes Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Scottie Pippen, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Jason Kidd - the LSB is inspiring more people to play more often and providing the opportunities, access and support to make it all happen.

We specialise in basketball coaching for players of all abilities while also running training courses to develop new coaches and workshops that help you develop the skills and ‘know how’ to successfully run your own club in your own community, helping your local area provide more places to play for the people that matter most to you.

We also help provide more opportunities to play the game in well organised basketball academies, leagues, tournaments and both casual and formal competitions. Indoors, outdoors, summer, winter, autumn or spring – if there’s a hoop, we’re there ready to play!

If you are interested in the game at any level, as a player, coach, volunteer or fan come join us and get involved!
