FOUNDER - AMECHI ANWAH

I am a sophomore at Carroll High School and play varsity basketball for the school. I have played basketball for 8+ years. My goal is to share my love of basketball with kids. I want to give back to the community by empowering kids and helping them foster long-term friendships.

Who We Are

Shaping Lives Basketball is a program run by high school students. We host free basketball lessons, hoping to give more kids the opportunity to give basketball a try, provide an accessible way to play more basketball, and establish a fun and safe place for kids to be more physically active,

These basketball lessons are designed to be fun in order to create friendships and increase skills. We believe basketball can change one’s view on life, just like it did ours. Basketball can teach kids life lessons like sportsmanship, hard work, and teamwork.

In the past 10 years, basketball trainings have become unaffordable. In order to combat that problem, we are giving lessons for free so as to give back to the community.
