Kids from Connecticut paint a court at Lambert Houses in the Bronx
Our three central programs and their details:
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.
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.
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.
