Our Story

Founded in 2019, Knights started as a Boys & Girls Basketball Clinic in Al Bateen. Despite humble beginnings, the Knights always stayed true to our philosophy of not only teaching youth basketball, but also growing kids into people.

As the world was put on pause due to the pandemic in 2020, so was our weekly basketball clinic. The following year, Coach Levent resumed his youth basketball coaching for the ACS middle school team as they competed in the Jr NBA league. With his remarkable coaching, all off his teams remained undefeated.

At the peak of basketball hype in Abu Dhabi, in 2022, Coach Levent launched the Knights Basketball Academy we all know and love. In 2023, the Knights launched teams for both boys and girls to compete in Dubai.

With the Capital Basketball League opening in 2024, the Knights returned to competing in Abu Dhabi, taking home plenty of hardware.
