   A MESSAGE FROM OUR PROGRAM DIRECTOR: DALE SMITH

Hi folks!

This program will incorporate basketball skill development through drill stations followed by games each week. Our goal is to ensure that every child and their family will experience a positive environment that is fun-filled and safe. We want every child to know that they are important as they enjoy learning the game.

We are also excited to offer parents and family members the opportunity to stay each night and enjoy our hospitality as we provide coffee and snacks while you watch your child work on their skills.

Some of you may be wondering about the church. We believe that we are loved by Jesus Christ and that He has a purpose for our lives, so along with a focus on basketball skills development and games, we will also take a few minutes each night to teach the kids about Jesus. We will do so in a considerate and respectful manner.

Our team of workers looks forward to meeting you and your child and hope that your family will love the basketball experience that Vertical Basketball has to offer.
