HELP BACK 2 BASICS GET BACK ON THE ROAD

For 25 years, Back 2 Basics Academy has used basketball as a vehicle for opportunity, mentorship, education and community.

Now we're asking our community to help us keep that opportunity moving.

Our transportation supports players getting to practices, games, tournaments, showcases, college visits, educational experiences and community programs.

But we're also preparing to launch Max2Basics — a pilot program designed to support children ages 8–13 in a Title I district through basketball skill development, basketball IQ, positive peer relationships, leadership and academic/community development.

🏀 FROM THE FIRST DRIBBLE TO THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY

Max2Basics will create an early foundation for young people before they reach the age when competitive youth sports can become increasingly expensive and difficult to access.

Through Max2Basics, we want to help young athletes:

• Develop fundamental basketball skills
• Build basketball IQ and decision-making
• Learn teamwork, communication and leadership
• Develop positive relationships with older peers and mentors
• Connect classroom success with athletic development
• Experience positive community-based activities
• Build confidence, discipline and healthy habits

And our #Believe2Be program continues that pathway for high-school-aged players who need another opportunity after not making their school team.

🚐 THE VAN CONNECTS THE PIPELINE

MAX2BASICS → #BELIEVE2BE → HIGHER OPPORTUNITIES

The van helps us connect young people to the places, people and experiences that make that pipeline possible.

3 WAYS TO HELP US GET BACK ON THE ROAD

🏀 $5,000 — ROAD TO $5K
Help us take the first major step toward getting our team transportation road-ready.

🤝 $2,500 — SPONSOR THE RIDE
Become a Back 2 Basics Community Transportation Partner and help keep our programs moving.

💙 50 SUPPORTERS × $50 = $2,500
Fifty people. Fifty dollars. One community.

🎯 TOTAL GOAL: $10,000

This isn't simply a fundraiser for a vehicle.

It's an investment in access.
It's an investment in opportunity.
It's an investment in our children.

The blueprint is set. The work starts now. 🛠️🏀

We are a training and development program built to shape athletes on and off the court. True success isn’t just about raw talent—it’s about structure, basketball IQ, and building an unshakeable sense of confidence.

💡 Our Philosophy: Develop First, Exposure Second.

In a world chasing instant highlights, we prioritize the invisible hours. Getting in front of scouts and cameras is meaningless if your game isn't ready. We focus on the grit, the fundamental mastery, and the mental toughness first.

When your moment of exposure finally arrives, we make sure you don't just get noticed—you dominate.

Don't just chase the spotlight. Build the foundation.

🧱 COME BUILD WITH US!

I am extremely blessed to announce that I will be continuing my Academic and Athletic🏀journey at Elmira College.
I would like to thank God for allowing me to get to this position. God had a better plan in store and none of this would be possible without Him.
To Mom and Dominic - You are my “Why”. Thank you for continuing to support me and constantly push me to be the best version of myself, even during the toughest stages of my life. Ik the journey hasn’t been easy but you stuck with me. You guys keep me going and I won’t ever stop until I can give you everything that you guys deserve ❤️.
I would also like to thank all of my coaches that have helped develop and bring me to this point. Thank you for believing in me and guiding me throughout my basketball journey. I’m truly grateful for all the countless days of grinding and getting 1% better everyday. Finally i would like to thank Coach Tobin for giving me this opportunity.
Let’s Get To Work.

We are developing a 13/14u Team that consists of male student-athletes who will train with the team 2 hours daily to simulate opponents, offering high-level physicality and speed. This Team will be integral to our Girl team's preparation, often making practices harder than games. 💪🏾🏀🏆 by @back2basicsnyc
