Books-N-Balls is a program which stress’ the importance of education through sports and other activities such as trips to the Science Center, History Museum, City Museum and many other educational type tours or sites. We started the program once we started taking Team trips to the Library. After an athlete has read 5 books of 100 pages or longer they are rewarded with a basketball and certificate of accomplishment. The Student Athlete who reads the most books or logs the most minutes read will receive a special award. We send weekly behavior sheets to each athlete’s school so that we may monitor any unacceptable behavior or other problems that may occur during a students day at school. We try to keep close contact with the teachers to see if there is anything that we can do to help with each Student Athlete’s educational and behavioral progression. We are building the foundation of our future which is the “Youth of  Today”.
