A Values-based Basketball School for Boys and Girls

Mission: Our Mission is to change our community one school, one student, and one family at a time.

Purpose:  To enhance a child’s character, when school is not in session.

     Champions International has inspired young people to reach their full potential by using their gifts and talents to help others and themselves. From a humble beginning of 30 participants the Player’s Choice Basketball School has grown to reach over 250 boys and girls each summer. 

    Our participants are motivated and encouraged everyday with special quotes, inspirational books, motivational guest speakers, memorabilia from small and major universities across the country, media guides, posters, practice shorts, game shorts, jerseys, t-shirts, basketballs, and much more. These are seeds planted in the hearts and minds of our participants with hopes of them enjoying the fruits of their labor for their present and future lives. 75% learned the value of good sportsmanship and setting goals. With its popularity for using the game of basketball as a key to unlock the unlimited doors of possibilities to success, the Player’s Choice Basketball School has expanded to 3 neighboring parishes (Acadia, Lafayette, & Iberia) .

HEAR WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY:


“I came hating basketball and left loving it.  I left with a newfound competitive spirit (it’s a good thing!) and an abundance of basketball knowledge.  I didn’t expect to have a lot of fun, but I did.  I was impressed by the way that you can incorporate a Godly message into teaching kids basketball.”
