Youth development can be defined as the ongoing growth process in which all youth are engaged in. Ultimately, attempting to meet their basic personal and social needs to be safe, feel cared for, be valued, be useful and build skills that allow them to function and contribute positively to their environments. We feel that sports and recreation play a large role in this perpetual balancing act that every child experiences; without basic access the developmental process is stunted. Our BUILD-A-COURT projects create the access to sports and physical activity that is necessary for success.

Court Revitalization

By revitalizing community basketball courts we offer positive outlets for youth to develop athletic and social skills by implementing “old school” values and grass roots strategies for collectivism, neighborhood cohesiveness and support.  Through the revitalization program we plan to overhaul courts in select communities providing quality court surfaces, adequate lighting, electronic scoreboards with upgraded sideline equipment.  It's our hope that these efforts will promote increased physical activity, socio-economical diversity, and community involvement that will support the youth in that particular area.

New Court Construction

Our “New Court Construction” program is dedicated to the forgotten children, we build new multi-sports courts for the children of orphanages. After building our first multi-sports court at the Alpha Children’s Home in Guyana in 2014, we knew that giving the gift of sports to orphans around the world would be an area of focus for us. For many orphanages basketball or soccer are the primary means of daily recreation and routine exercise. Many play on a dilapidated slab of broken concrete and slippery rubble or even open dirt fields. We want to give them a place that they can feel safe and call their own–providing a source of confidence and empowerment. With your help we hope to build our next multi-sports court in Haiti.
