We believe that basketball is so much more than just a game. It fosters resilience, focus and accountability – life lessons that extend far beyond the court. Since our first camp in 2003, we’ve been inspired by the potential basketball has to enrich the lives of African youth and encourage them to reach their full potential.
Today, with youth empowerment at the center of our mission, we conduct basketball camps and community outreach events with an emphasis on hard work, leadership and integrity. We also develop infrastructure to provide a place for youth to come together, to be inspired and to have a positive impact in their own communities.
Our aim is to not only develop basketball players, but future leaders, who feel inspired and empowered to Dream Big.
