team phame is DEDICATED TO PROMOTING CHANGE BEYOND SPORTS

Team Phame is a competitive basketball program ranges from 8u-17u, devoted to impacting lives and empowering kids from all backgrounds. Our program focuses on team building and basketball skills development for youth. Our basketball program was founded February 2022 at Gilbert Regional Park, located in Gilbert, Arizona. 

To educate, mentor, and develop young athletes by teaching them life skills such as respect, discipline, and teamwork. For us, it’s bigger than basketball! We want our players to understand the value of commitment, sacrifice, and hard work. Our goal is to help each player understand the importance of hard work and having a winning attitude. We want our players to grow up being productive on and off the court. Having a winning attitude starts with self-confidence and accountability. We don’t just wake up winners. There are many factors that goes into winning. 

We envision that together, our players, families, and volunteers will work with positive spirits to create a safe and friendly environment. We want our youth to know how important it is to volunteer and give back to their communities. “The true test of character is how you treat people that can’t do anything for you”. As role models, our jobs are to help players build a sense of pride and responsibility to help take care and give back to their community. “Never forget where you come from”. 

No matter how good you are, at some point you will fail. We teach our players to be able to accept losing because there’s a lesson in every loss. It’s impossible to navigate through life without losing. If we lose, lose with respect, by leaving everything on the floor. If you have nothing else to give the game, there's no reason to hold your head down. You shake the hand of your opponent, congratulate them and work harder the next time. When learning a new skill or new drill, we expect you to fail, but the next time you try it we encourage your child to get better. "It’s a big difference between learning how to lose and learning from your loss."
