Young Life Basketball Academy (YLBA) is looking to find sponsors to help provide meaningful and life-changing opportunities for high school youth to chase their academic & athletic dreams beyond high school.
We're looking to level the playing field. The expenses to participate in today's AAU environment limit who can play. We want to give individuals a fighting chance to be seen and compete for potential college scholarships.
An AAU team's average cost per season is roughly $48K; expenses include a training facility, tournament fees, equipment, uniforms, practice gear, & travel expenses. As a result, the average cost per player for a season is $4,000. Our program will strive to participate in three seasons: Spring, Summer, & Fall.
Your sponsorship will provide a real opportunity for individuals to participate in a program that will teach them core values to be impactful role models in their communities. Let's give them that chance to make a difference.

We appreciate and accept all levels of support from individuals and businesses. Our program will acknowledge any form of support via social media to express our gratitude for your commitment to making a difference. The right to display a logo on our site is reserved for contributions of $2,000 or greater.
Below is an outline of the sponsorship levels we created to identify our needs per team per season. Donations are not limited to the list below. We welcome all gifts of the heart to assist us in our goal of providing life-changing opportunities to our youth. In addition, we will acknowledge sponsors for their donations on social media (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter).
Donations can also be submitted via ACH transfer, which we highly recommend for donations over $1,000. Based on USPS recommendations, we do not recommend that anyone mail any checks to us. Checks should only be submitted in person to a YLBA-appointed representative. To arrange donation submission via paper check, contact us at hoops@ylbahoop.com. In every case, we will coordinate a photo op to share on social media to acknowledge all levels of contributions. All donors have the option & right to remain anonymous. We will respect everyone’s wishes whether one consents to participate in our donor acknowledgments on our website or opts out of donor acknowledgment. Our goal in donor acknowledgment is simply to show gratitude for your support.
A tier sponsor's logo will be featured in the area just above our site footer. The logo will be linked to the sponsor’s site and open in a new window to allow users to engage with their business.
Level 1 thru 3 sponsors will be featured more prominently on our site with a larger logo and image.
