Build Character: Learn respect, confidence, and resilience in a supportive environment.
Practice Teamwork: Communicate, collaborate, and celebrate with others on and off the court.
Gain Conflict Resolution Skills: Handle disagreements with positivity and respect.
Develop Discipline: Strengthen focus, determination, and follow-through.
All sessions are led by IVP-cleared, SafeSport-informed coaches who understand youth development.
