Why Basketball Matters

Research shows that being active through sports like basketball boosts academic performance, future career success, physical health, and social well-being. Community basketball is a powerful way to keep kids active and connected.

Player Support Program

The cost of gear and league fees keeps climbing—leaving many kids sidelined. The Player Support Program ensures every child who wants to play basketball can join in. Through this program, we assist families and local organizations by offering financial support for:

  • Registration and league fees

  • Equipment like shoes, jerseys, and basketballs

  • Transportation to games and events

We believe basketball should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances.

Coach & Family Education

A positive, safe experience keeps kids in the game. Our Coach & Family Education program develops training and resources on:

  • Building team spirit and strong leadership

  • Health, nutrition, and injury prevention (like concussion awareness and CPR)

  • Encouraging multi-sport play to reduce burnout and overuse injuries

By supporting families and coaches, we foster environments where children love the game and stay involved.
