The Knights recently launched the KNIGHTS ACADEMY (www.knightsacademy.net) that is designed to teach and train basketball players on a year-round basis.

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
