We are calling on current and former Spartan parents to help us make the sport of basketball as accessible as possible to kids in the Chicago area. You already know our commitment to providing a fun and exciting youth basketball atmosphere, but we recently developed a non-profit wing of Spartans Sports, focused solely on helping as many teams as possible be able to enjoy this tremendous sport.

Beyond Hoops is a 501C charitable organization that provides kids in the Chicago area with the opportunity to play basketball without being encumbered with exorbitant costs that may make the sport unaffordable to players who love the game. Through grants and donations, Beyond Hoops helps park districts, grade schools, and local community teams by helping them acquire jerseys and basketballs at little to no cost.

Beyond Hoops is just getting started, so any donation large or small would be appreciated to help us give something back to the communities that just love the sport of basketball. You can donate to the organization here: https://www.spartansports.club/donate

Please note that your donations are tax deductible.
Thank you for your support!
