Mission Statement
The mission statement of USA Basketball Youth Development is to promote, grow and elevate the sport of basketball through service and leadership. The USA Basketball Youth Development Division was founded on the values of fun, safety and development. All programs within the Youth Development Division operate with an emphasis on these core values. USA Basketball sets out to encourage a culture of "basketball for life" where whether as players, coaches, officials or fans of the game people will be inspired to continue their participation in the game in some way throughout their whole life.
Description
USA Basketball is a nonprofit organization and the National Governing Body for men's and women's basketball in the United States. In 2013, USA Basketball created its Youth Development Division to increase its presence in the youth space and greater its role in the development of young players and youth coaches. Today, USA Basketball is equally focused on the goals of winning gold medals in international competition as it is on the proper growth and development of youth basketball by those who play and coach the game.
