Friends 4 Life Basketball was established in the spring of 2003 in Cleveland, Ohio. The program started with one team and has grown in six years to four with a new age group beginning this fall. I, Eugene White the Director of Friends 4 Life Basketball would personally like to say thank you for taking the time to explore our website.
The Friends program was established to bring kids from all over Northeast, Ohio together to build life long friendships that are bigger than basketball. We also want to teach the game of basketball, and to instill discipline. Friends is a program that stresses education because without school you cannot be successful. This is the first thing we talk to our players and parents about because our program goal is see every player to go to college.
The Friends program is a very demanding organization from both the parent and the player because we are a program that travels and practices a lot. In a season we play between 7 to 9 tournaments and all tournaments for the most part are on the weekend. We are also big in the community by doing community service such as collecting canned goods, and working at food center.
