Since 2022, in collaboration with The City of Charleston and The LENS Foundation of Charleston, we have been building an initiative that goes beyond recreation—it’s about changing lives, shaping leaders, and strengthening communities.
Here's a brief outline of how the summer will run:
This year, the season for our basketball program kicks off on Sunday, June 8, 2025. On that day, we'll host our community meeting with all players, parents, partners, and volunteers—followed by a celebration to start the summer off right.
Official games for the summer begin on Saturday, June 14, 2025, and will run through Saturday, August 2, 2025. During this period, games will be held weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
To honor Flip Day—proclaimed in 2023 by former Mayor Tecklenburg in recognition of Delonza "Flip" Simmons—we’ll be hosting All-Star Games at Mall Park Playground on August 16, 2025.
This year we are expecting 400+ players to register. In addition to the players, we expect to reach over 2,000 people this summer.
Registration fee: $60 per Youth Player / $75 per Adult Player
