Hi, my name is Rj Wells. I’m a former Division 1 and professional basketball player, and now I’m a basketball coach/mentor and skills trainer. Over the years, I’ve noticed a big problem in our community where many talented kids with financial barriers, simply don’t have access to the training they need to reach their full potential. Some are good enough to play travel at a high level but may not be able to afford it. My youth program is open to all youth in the community, but we especially take pride in helping the kids who face financial barriers who would otherwise not be able to participate!

I wanted to change that. I’ve been brainstorming ways to make playing basketball, and training accessible for everyone, no matter their financial situation. That’s why I started Rise Up Youth Program  — a program where people can Donate and athletes can get access to high level mentorship, training, camps, and amateur sports‼️

With your support, no young athlete will be left behind because of money. Every donation goes directly to giving kids the tools, training, and mentorship they need to succeed on and off the court. All donations received go towards tournament cost, ref fees, gym fees, gas, hotel fees, equipment jerseys etc! Rise Up Youth Program would like to thanks everyone in advance we appreciate every donation big or small it all counts to make these kids dreams come true!
