Basketball &
BEYOND
Basketball and Beyond is geared towards teaching youth life skills through basketball and promoting educational resilience among inner city youth. Sports can be a vital tool utilized to reinforce ideals such as communication, hard work, togetherness and other morals and values we hold dear in our society. This is why here at Basketball and Beyond, we not only teach the game of basketball, but we also teach the game of life.
In today’s world in order to be successful on or off the court a person needs to have certain qualities and characteristics. One needs to be a team player, lead by example, have a strong work ethic, great communication skills, a fierce competitor, and the willingness to be molded and learn. These are our focal points and with the drills and environment we create these are the values and lessons that are intertwined with the camp.
Along with teaching the fundamentals of basketball on the court we also have a superb classroom edition off the court. Basketball and Beyond has gathered a group of adults with the willingness to help our youth. We have classes that focus on life skills such as, but not limited to: interview skills, resume building, time management, problem solving, and classes geared toward changing the cognitive corruption of our youth so that they may be equipped with the tools to think for themselves. We also have an academic support section geared toward study habits, test taking, tutoring, SAT/ACT prep, state testing, and college prep help for those youth who need guidance for that next educational level.
Our motto here at Basketball and Beyond is "On and off the court, the pressures are not to perform, but to be prepared. Here at the Basketball and Beyond it is our duty to prepare our youth. Prepare for tests, prepare for life, and to prepare for success. At Basketball and Beyond we prepare our students to perform!"
