“Community sports supporting the education and future of our children”

Our mission is to utilize the popular sport of basketball to expose student-athletes and their peers, both boys and girls, to a variety of educational resources, personal life-skills, and career development information, specifically introducing valuable opportunities for grade school students in various pre-college programs.

We are guided by the belief that "sports" or "athletics" in general can be a powerfully positive vehicle for the personal and social development of our youth not only by the obvious building of strength, agility and coordination skills but also by developing the more subtle mental and emotional characteristics our youth need for interpersonal and social success.

By designing tournament activities to emphasize the personal and social development and future success of our youth we are naturally directed to the twin needs in the lives of many young people to build and repair family and community relationships, hence we encourage youth-adult mentoring and coaching supervision that teaches, motivates and inspires all our youth to compete with dignity and honor, respect, leadership, good sportsmanship, civility under pressure and teamwork.
