Grateful for the opportunity to come speak the first day and then to come play a light educational game on the second day with these young Kings And Queens at Sim Scott Summer Program! They are really funny!!

Had a great moment with these young ambitious students. Not one of them are from Columbus, but they are very well taking advantage of an opportunity here in Columbus. If you are going into your Junior or your Senior year and want to take advantage of an opportunity and or help make a major difference in your community do reach out for further details. Thanks again young Ladies and gentlemen.

This weekend, Coach D and a few of our STY young men traded basketballs for trash bags and spent their morning supporting the Keep Columbus Beautiful Community Cleanup initiative.

Champions aren’t just developed in gyms and on basketball courts. They’re developed through service, responsibility, and a willingness to show up when there’s work to be done.

The lesson wasn’t basketball during a tournament.

It was leadership.
It was service.
It was community.

Proud of the young men who came out and represented STY, and proud of Coach D for continuing to lead by example.
