The program includes transformational leadership mentoring overseen by former Harlem Globetrotter and Transformational Speaker Tracy Williams and professional athlete role models that work alongside mentors. Interested in volunteering…. let us know so we can get you involved!
- ‘Out of reach’ opportunities and flagship events
The programs provide young people with access to a range of ‘out of reach’ opportunities such as flagship holiday events with professional athletes, access to special basketball events, provision of equipment and gear, online athlete sessions, and access to elite programs.
The sessions emphasise leadership, communication and resiliency skills, preparing players for not only the game of basketball but also the game of life, preparing them for the challenges they’ll face in their lives and careers.
