Basketball in the off season is coordinated by the Cleveland Basketball Youth Program. Cleveland Basketball is a 501c-3 community non profit, working closely with Varsity Head Coach, Sam Glasgow and in support of the CHS Boys Basketball program.

Cleveland Basketball is NOT supported financially by PPS or PIL organizations. We are an equal opportunity program, offering quality basketball, year round, to young athletes in our community. We strive to keep costs as affordable as possible and understand that participation in sports is not always financially attainable for everyone. Our program depends on the generosity of our community to offer low cost and no cost options to those in need.

Ability to PAY does NOT determine ability to PLAY!

Please consider a donation to our scholarship fund, to support the development of young athletes in our community. All donations are greatly appreciated!
