Kids from Connecticut paint a court at Lambert Houses in the Bronx

Our three central programs and their details:

  1. Court restoration

    We are invited into communities - parks, public housing, schools - and we resurrect outdoor basketball courts. We replace baskets, fix cracks and then paint the space with colors and logos chosen by local leaders.

    1. Coach support

      More often than not, coaches are the ones who invite us into their communities. We insure their courts, help them start and grow leagues, and we stick with them for years.

  2. Increase youth access

    We provide uniforms, sneakers, basketballs and other necessary equipment for kids in these communities, as the rising cost of basketball reaches unprecedented levels. We make it to be easy for a kid to be on a team.
