San Antonio nonprofit leaders drafted young men between 17 and 25 to play in the newly formed Community Basketball League. The program will help to sharpen young men on the verge of making life-changing decisions and build confidence.
– A community basketball game is the hook, but for Troy Smith and Charles Sattiewhite, it’s an open door to help be a good influence on young men between 17 and 25 years old.
Sattiewhite and Smith, leaders of the nonprofits San Antonio Rising Stars and Walk a Mile in My Shoes, respectively, have been working on this community league project for years. It’s a vision to help young men from troubled neighborhoods find role models and get opportunities they didn’t have before.
The men will be expected to show up to play, work together, and may have an opportunity to be flown to New York City to play against a team there.
