Our Mission

Building athletes of character through basketball

The mission of the CTD Sports Foundation is to build young athletes of high character through hard work, dedication, and teamwork.

We believe sport is a platform for life. On the court, we teach fundamentals, decision-making, and grit. Off the court, we model respect, accountability, and leadership—so our athletes grow as students, teammates, and community members.

Our approach combines skill development, academic accountability, and whole-person wellness. We serve athletes from diverse backgrounds and provide access to quality coaching, safe facilities, and mentorship.

  • Skill & IQ: Progressive drills, game concepts, and positionless play.
  • Character & Leadership: Team covenant, servant leadership, and peer mentorship.
  • Academics First: Regular grade checks and study expectations—students before athletes.
  • Wellness & Safety: Age-appropriate training, injury-prevention habits, and mental well-being.
  • Access & Equity: Fee assistance and scholarships so cost is never the barrier.
  • Community Impact: Clinics, service projects, and inclusive events for families.

Our players are students first and athletes second. We conduct random grade checks and expect excellence both in behavior and academic performance.
