About Us
THE YOUTH IS THE FUTURE
WE GREW UP IN ELMONT, NY 11003;
A BEAUTIFULLY DIVERSE COMMUNITY THAT HELPED RAISED US TO BE THE DRIVEN YOUNG MEN WE OUR TODAY. LIFE HAS CHANGED SINCE WE HAVE GRADUATED FROM ELMONT MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL IN 2020. THE PANDEMIC DISCONNECTED US, POLICE BRUTALITY DISTRESSED US, SOCIAL MEDIA DISTRACTED US, AND HIGH CRIME RATES DISCOURAGED US TO SIMPLY JUST GO OUTSIDE AND LIVE A FULFILLING LIFE WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WE ASKED GOD HOW CAN WE HELP SPREAD POSITIVITY AND MAKE A IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS WAS HIS ANSWER! LIFE FEELS LIKE WERE AT A PAUSE, BUT NOW ITS TIME TO PRESS PLAY! PLAY BASKETBALL AND BRING POSITIVE ENERGY BACK IN THE AIR IN ELMONT! ITS TIME TO GET EVERYONE BACK TOGETHER FOR DAY FULL OF EXCITEMENT. THIS TOURNAMENT IS DESIGNED TO CREATE A SAFE ZONE FOR INDIVIDUALS TO SHOW THEIR SKILLS AND DILIGENCE COMPETITIVELY. WE LIVE TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO REACH THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL AND TO NOT LIMIT THEMSELVES. WE LEAD BY EXAMPLE BECAUSE WE KNOW THE YOUTH IS THE FUTURE. HOWEVER AS OF RIGHT NOW THE FUTURE HONESTLY LOOKS INADEQUATE, BUT WE REFUSE TO WATCH OUR YOUTH HEAD DOWN ADVERSE PATHS. WE ARE HERE TO HELP DIRECT OUR YOUTH IN A BETTER DIRECTION AND SET THEM UP FOR GREATNESS. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!
