The 77th Precinct Clergy Council Basketball Program is designed to provide children aged 10-16 with a safe and supportive environment to develop skills, build relationships, and learn essential life lessons. This comprehensive youth basketball initiative aims to steer participants away from crime, substance use, and harmful behaviors by fostering athletic growth, character development, and community engagement. Through structured practices, competitive play, and mentorship opportunities, the program promotes physical activity, teamwork, and leadership skills. With a focus on holistic development, including counseling sessions and educational workshops, the goal is to nurture well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to our community both on and off the court.
