​Next Up

​Our “Next Up” program molds former professional and collegiate athletes into mentors and future business professionals.  We understand that far too many athletes have let basketball use them instead of using basketball to open doors for themselves off the court. This dynamic initiative works to change this reality.

• “Next Up” leaders work as coaches and mentors for the youth in our program.  
• We pair each “Next Up” leader with an influential professional in his/her desired field.
• “Next Up” leaders work as an apprentice during the day and a coach after school. 

"Next Up" shapes stars on the court into leaders off the court.
