GEORGIA KINGS
The Purpose of the YMCA Georgia Kings Basketball program is to help mold and shape each player into becoming strong disciples of Jesus Christ. The development of advanced basketball knowledge & skill comes second.
Our program focuses primarily on three things:
-
Christian values. Our Mission is to glorify God through our basketball program.
-
Academics. Our players will be required to maintain high academic standards in all course work and log community service hours during each season.
-
Development of Skill. Our players will focus on developing their basketball fundamentals through practice, training, and playing games at the local, state, and national levels. Thus, providing them exposure to colleges and university athletic departments.
