THE RISE UP PHILOSOPHY

Being a member of a travel team is both time-consuming and demanding, requiring dedication from players, parents, and coaches alike. At RISE Up Basketball, we place a strong emphasis on the core values of family, faith, education, and player development across all levels of our program.

Family First
Our top priority and the cornerstone of our mission is family. We believe that the friendships and bonds formed among our players, their families, and the extended RISE Up community are invaluable. These relationships create a supportive environment where everyone is “rowing in the same direction,” working together for the success of the team and the individual. Open communication is critical, and we are always here to provide guidance and support when needed.

Education Matters
We take pride in helping our players understand the importance of academics. Being a STUDENT-athlete means excelling both on the court and in the classroom. We expect our players to maintain excellent grades, which are regularly monitored by our coaching staff. This focus on education is essential, as academic achievement is a vital component of future success. The ultimate goal may be earning a scholarship, but even the most talented players must have the grades to make this dream a reality.

At RISE Up Basketball, we are committed to fostering a culture of excellence, responsibility, and teamwork that prepares our players for success both now and in the future.
