basketball
is child’s play
and more
Playing sports is fun and contributes to healthy bodies—but it’s so much more! Playing sports has positive impacts on many aspects of a child’s life including academic performance, resilience and mental fortitude, and social-emotional health.
Hoop for the Valley enables kids from income-restricted families to experience the joy and benefits of basketball at no cost. In addition to developing physical skills, we ensure that all kids have the opportunity to:
Receive encouragement and mentorship
Build community and connection
Discover a world of possibilities
Be seen as the unique individuals they are
