What we stand for
A place to play. A place to belong.
Opportunity through basketball
Practice, mentorship, and competition that bring generations together and help players build confidence on and off the court.
Care for our neighbors
A community where showing up means more than playing a game. We work to connect hoopers in need with essential resources, including basic necessities, mental health services, housing assistance, and job opportunities.
Stewardship of the courts
Respecting the people, maintaining clean and welcoming courts, and preserving the basketball traditions that make Venice Beach special.
