YouthPlaces geared up for our 3rd Annual Community basketball game versus Enterprise Mobility. It’s always a great time to network, have fun and play a competitive game. They have been a sponsor for YP for years. They always think they can beat our youth but we put up a good fight every year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again for all the support and dedication to helping our communities grow.

It’s not just about basketball, it’s about being a PRO in life. 🔑”
Justice Cuthbertson, owner of Ice Academy. We’re a basketball development program training everyone from pros all the way down to the youth.
Collaborating with Youth Place is a humbling experience that helps me be a better teacher and instill the most important values in our athletes:
• ⚡️ Top Tier Energy: You have to be loud and bring it. Energy makes the work fun and productive!
• 🧠 Pro Mentality: Confidence in the answer has to match confidence in the performance.
• ✅ Life Ready: Be prepared, responsible, and organized for anything life throws at you.
We use our 6-8 week program to get them ready for the season, but also for life. Come train with us!

Halloween at YouthPlaces this year was straight up legendary! The Scarehouse had the whole spot lit, good food, good people, just good vibes all around! The haunted house was wild! 😱 Screams down the halls, spooky lights, and that one friend who swore they wasn’t scared but ran first every time 😂 After the scares came the laughs food, fun, and a whole lotta memories. YouthPlaces really did it big this year. Thanks to our staff and the community for showing up.
