CURRENT PROJECTS

 

San Diego Hooks Baseball Academy

The SDHBA will be a competitive 9U and 13U baseball travel team.

The SDHBA will be much different from traditional travel baseball teams.  First, the academy will be free to all families.  Second, our player population will specifically come from Southeast San Diego.  Southeast San Diego is the southeastern portion of the City of San Diego and generally represented by the urban neighborhood gangs, a large economically disadvantaged population, and is ethnically diverse. This population was intentionally targeted to develop young athletes and turn them into student athletes.  more

 

Youth in Transition (YT365™) Conferences

YT365™ are conferences targeted toward helping youth experience an easier transition from the various home care systems where they may be placed.  Our goal is to provide ward of the state youth, between the ages of 15 – 21 years old with the necessary independent living skills and the knowledge to assist them with life’s transitions, while building interpersonal development.  Conference organizers have enlisted a team of professionals from a variety of sectors to deliver and provide attendees with the best information possible. The conferences will cover major issues such as Personal Growth, Education, Financial Independence, Transition, Health & Wellness, and Independent Living. more 

 

The Robert L. Douglas Youth Education and Sports Development Center
Robert L. Douglas (November 4th 1882-July 16, 1979) was born on the island of Saint Kitts in the British West Indies. Affectionately known as “Bob,” Mr. Douglas is known as the “Father of Black Professional Basketball.” In 1902, at the age of 20, Mr. Douglas, immigrated to the United States from St. Kitts. Two years later, he founded what would later become known as one of the most dominating basketball teams in the world, the New York Renaissance (more commonly referred to as the Rens). From 1922 until 1949, under Mr. Douglas leadership, the Rens won an astounding percentage of their games. Competing against any and all comers, the Rens won 2,318 contests, while only tasting defeat 381 times. This extraordinary success, achieved by very few other organizations, led to a winning percentage of .859. more
