Basketball is just not a game. On this page, you would find the key characteristics gained from playing this sport. it consist of competition, meaning of winning, trusting the process, bonding & networking, discipline & determination, accepting failure, and respecting others. these traits are all mandatory not for just on the court but also off the court as well. The impact from this is to provide kids and the youth more knowledge that they already have but didn't know.

The goal I am trying to portray in this message is to influence the youth into being more proactive instead of just being reactive. Being proactive is the same as being reactive. However, the only difference is that proactive is being able to anticipate what the future will be while also reacting accordingly before it actually happens. this apply to basketball because people are always coming up with a game plan. Basically, if you got your game plan then you are always going to be prepare for what happens next. furthermore, the impact on the youth is important because we want them to be able to apply these same traits and characteristics in the real world. If we are able to influence them in this way then they are always going to be able to handle any situation. Being role models to the youth is always going to be an ongoing cycle but it can only work if we are able to get our message across to the kids and there is no better way to do that than what a lot of the youth love which is basketball.

All in all, you will also encounter other pages on this site that shows you why we are for the youth. we are trying to shape young individuals into the best version of themselves that they can be. on the other pages you will see other programs we are trying to achieve for the youth that are career pursuing and also positive for there physical and mental health.

Regarding to mental health "Youth are able to release built-up emotions when communicating to people they relate to." This definitely connects to basketball because if you playing basketball with others on court, there are already relations. Bonds are easily able to be made when you interact with other people who like to do the same thing as you whether it is basketball or other hobbies. furthermore, in health fitness it is mention that you be burning more calories than consuming. basketball is a competitive sport that requires a lot of energy to be used while playing. By saying this, the message trying to be convey is that a lot of calories can be burned by playing basketball.
