In 2017, he made the jump to the national team has since been selected to attend the National Wheelchair Basketball Academy in Toronto.

Athletes that are part of the National Academy Program train at Wheelchair Basketball Canada’s National Training Centre in Toronto, which is geared to enable rising stars to access optimized training, coaching, mentorship, and support services.

Westley will be on the Canadian Men’s U23 National Wheelchair Basketball Team, the Toronto Rollin Raptors, Division 1, and has competed thus far in the 10th Annual Second City Showdown in Chicago and the 15th Kitakyushu Champions Cup in Kitakyushu, Japan.
