BAAM Summer League

Building Character Through Sport

BAAM Summer League

The BAAM Summer League is a youth basketball program for students in grades 3 through 8 that promotes athletic development, physical fitness, and personal growth. Designed as part of BAAM’s holistic health and wellness initiatives, the league provides a structured and supportive environment where young athletes can sharpen their basketball skills, engage in positive competition, and stay active throughout the summer.

More than just a game, the BAAM Summer League emphasizes character development, mentorship, and life skills. Coaches serve as role models—teaching players the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline, effective communication, and goal setting. With each practice and game, students gain confidence, leadership abilities, and resilience—skills that support their success both on and off the court.

The 2025 season of the BAAM Summer League will start on Wednesday, June 4. Games will be played on Wednesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6 p.m. All games are played at the BAAM Athletic Center. Seating is limited.

Not able to make it to the games in person? When possible, games will be live streamed on BAAM’ Facebook. 

BAAM Summer League: Player Press Conference Videos

As part of the 2024 BAAM Summer League season, select student-athletes from grades 3–8 had the opportunity to participate in post-game press conferences—just like the pros. These short video interviews capture students reflecting on their performance, sharing team highlights, and answering questions from coaches and peers. The press conference series is part of BAAM’s broader commitment to helping youth develop confidence, communication skills, and leadership on and off the court.

Public speaking is a cornerstone of BAAM’s holistic youth development model. Through this video series, you’ll see how our student-athletes are learning to express themselves clearly, think on their feet, and celebrate both individual and team growth. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or supporter, these videos offer a powerful glimpse into how sports and mentorship come together to build future leaders.
