children, teens, and young adults with special needs learn the fundamentals of basketball while building confidence, developing new skills, and making lasting friendships. Participants are paired with teen volunteers who provide encouragement, individualized support, and plenty of high-fives as they practice dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork.

Each session includes a fun scrimmage game, giving players the chance to put their new skills into action, celebrate their achievements, and experience the excitement of being part of a team. Basketball Buddies promotes physical fitness, sportsmanship, inclusion, and meaningful connections—creating a positive experience for both participants and volunteers.
