D-up basketball strives to enrich and enhance the lives of young people and instill in them a passion for excellence both on and off the court and in life. We are committed to creating a positive culture that focuses on individual development, competition, teamwork, sportsmanship, respect, and most of all, leadership. D-up basketball fosters an environment that develops successful athletes, students, and leaders with character in which coaches, parents, and players work together to achieve this mission.

D-up basketball further fosters a mentoring program to both males and females that will serve to enlighten, uplift, and guide our youths in any dimension, not just athletics. We will look to expand cultural knowledge, experiences, self-awareness and self-love.
