Our Mission

Enlightening kids through basketball to successfully navigate their lives and impact the world.

Common Courts is a dynamic basketball and beyond program that focuses on providing opportunities for transformation for kids 3rd through 8th grades. We are always about helping kids. They discover what they have in common with one another, while appreciating their differences. They engage in informal educational experiences leading to a lifetime of success both on and off the court. Seeds are creatively planted for kids to aspire to possible career paths through a basketball lens. Because the kids of today are the adults of tomorrow. Because when kids learn the right things we should all have in common, they support one another in leading us all to a brighter future.
