About Us
OUR MISSION
To help every young boy and girl in our program elevate themselves to personal success in life by teaching proper fundamental skills and character development utilizing the medium of basketball.
What We Do
Our Vision
To help the youth break the negative cycles perpetuated in many underserved areas. By providing an environment of encouragement with moral structure, positive role models, and activities that are engaging, EYG will teach the fundamentals of basketball while also shaping the character of each participant.
"One can be elevated no higher
than their thinking."
- Coach Charles H. Williams
What parents are saying…
“The EYG program has helped my son, Maurius Miles Jr., in so many ways. Not only through the development of his basketball skills training. EYG provides a fun and safe environment for my son.”
— Maurius Miles
“My son, Alex, has played two seasons with the Eagles and has enjoyed it very much. Alex often struggles with making friends or speaking in front of new people. Since he has been a part of the EYG program he has been a lot more confident in speaking aloud and has also been more engaging with new kids.”
— Quinton Lee
“Our son has thrived under EYG coaches! For five years he has blossomed into a great athlete and can't get enough! He would practice every day if Coach would let him! That's a great program... Knowing our son is in good hands who love him and support him is vital to our family.”
— Charla Gervers Thompson
“I would like to start off by thanking Coach Williams (EYG) for the opportunity my child Joseph has been given to play with EYG Basketball. Not only is my son learning team skills on the court but off the court on respect and discipline in school and at home.”
— Evon Oluwayemi
