How can you help Beyond the Ball?

There are many ways to support our mission:

Storage Space

Our programs involve quite a bit of equipment, which needs to be stored when not in use. If you have storage space we can use, let us know!

Dollars

Gym space is costly. So are the materials we purchase for our programs. We would be grateful for your support. Checks can be made out to "beyond the ball" and sent to:

beyond the ball
3057 S. Drake Ave.
Chicago, IL 60623

Items

You probably have something to give that appeals to youth between the ages of 5 and 24. Tickets to events, like Bulls games; a summer home that we could use for a leadership retreat; or sports equipment and apparel. Send us an e-mail at btb@beyondtheball.org to let us know.

Beyond the Ball Girls

Beyond the Ball recognizes that girls and young women are often left to sit on the sidelines, while the young men get attention through sports. Girls are not only a part of all of our programs, we have a specific program just for them.

Winter League 2009

Our Winter League 2009 will start up again in a few weeks. This year, we will host the tournament at Little Village Lawndale High School. Check back often to get updated standings and statistics, as well as input from league participants.

it's beyond just ball

In addition to the competing at basketball, youth will be running this league. Keeping stats and uploading them to the site, shooting video, and blogging to give you their perspectives on what's happening.
