Having all played university basketball at the highest level in North America, the A4H executive team understands first-hand how valuable skills developed through participation in sport are. Their curriculum and programming builds on the understanding that sports are a great way to develop goal setting, teamwork skills and tools to help manage adversity – all of which can be applied off the court. The YOF league teaches fundamental basketball skills, teamwork, sportsmanship and a passion for the love of the game of basketball while also learning about what it takes to be a student athlete through different educational workshops. Funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the program focuses on mentorship, basketball and educational programming for Black youth in Peel.
