WHAT WE DO

Our purpose is to promote safe activities for children and their families in high-crime, under-resourced areas. The most unique feature of the conference is it's "Full Court Press" initiative that combines the unified efforts of local police, churches, and community organizations to promote positive, transforming change. Boys and girls can learn about leadership, accountability, organization, preparation, conflict resolution and teamwork in a tangible and practical way. With this same logic, adults who take on the role of coach and mentor practice the concepts of collaboration. The hope is as all parties work together successfully in a project like this, the same concept can be applied to positively address inequality, poverty and gun violence. 

Quality athletic instruction is just the beginning: Our focus is on health and wellness, education, mentoring, and athletic excellence.

CORE MODEL

At the heart of each sports league are the volunteers who help create the impact that the team experiences. The athletic training and the success of the team are just a by-product of what these volunteers are really after. Team leaders, including the coaches, are focused on creating a safe place for youth to be themselves, have fun and thrive. They instill character through sport, and give team members the opportunity to succeed in life by mentoring them through sport, school and social situations.

Our three-legged stool model is the method we use to fully support each team. It's a proven method to ensure that all the needs of the youth are thoughtfully met. The mindset and expertise of each leader creates a multi-view approach that allows the collective team leaders to see things about each child that an individual coach cannot. This makes for a dynamic environment where kids are holistically seen and mentored.
