Mission Statement
The Basketball Warehouse’s mission is to teach life skills through basketball and academic mentoring- discipline, perseverance, respect, and teamwork; and how these principles can be applied in everyday life, to make healthier life choices.
Description
The Basketball Warehouse was established in April 2011 to offer a place for kids to play basketball, get extra help in their classroom studies, and do their homework after school. Co-founders Daryl Blume and Allen Williams established the organization to provide tailored training programs that center around basketball to satisfy each student/athlete's individual needs in a positive, encouraging environment.
The original goal was to develop the student physically, mentally, and spiritually, resulting in children with more energy, less stress, better focus, improved strength, and a stronger sense of self. "The Warehouse" would strive to help our children reach their academic and life potential through sports. Our goal is to develop the student physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Throughout the years, the Basketball Warehouse has grown into a respected 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a popular destination for teens and tweens with a passion for athletics. The addition of a variety of engaging programs, such as, summer camps, basketball clinics, travel teams, and league play, have drawn a diverse demographic to the Largo, FL, location.
