New Life Basketball League

The New Life Basketball League uses the sport of basketball to love and accept players of all skill levels right where they are. This is integral in our desire to introduce families to New Life found in Jesus. Our desire is to take out the pressure found in much of youth sports and just make basketball fun. Throughout the season we will be teaching character traits that not only apply to the basketball court but to life as a whole. New Life Basketball is a family-based program and relies on the involvement of parents and volunteers. Our core values are:

  • Fun
  • Character Building
  • Belonging
  • Love & Acceptance
  • Respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, and parents.
