High Five Basketball

High Five Basketball High Five Basketball is a 501(c)3 nonprofit summer basketball league for youth & adults with special needs in West LA from June 14-August 2!

High Five Basketball is a set of 501(c)3 nonprofit summer basketball leagues for youth (6-17 years) and adults (18+ years) with special needs. Games are on Sunday afternoons from June 14 - August 2 at indoor gyms at Crossroads School in Santa Monica.

Through our mission “Friendship, Focus, Fitness, Fairness & Fun”, we aim to provide basketball leagues for youth and adults with special needs in order to give them athletic opportunities, social interactions and friendships, an accepting environment to just simply have fun, and that fundamental sense of belonging one gets from being on a team. Our organization consists of dedicated UCLA PhD students and mental health professionals who are experienced in providing fun and fulfilling ways to exercise through team cooperation, and encouraging the development of communication skills, making friends, self-esteem, sense of belonging, and fulfillment through team basketball. Furthermore, we are dedicated to creating an environment not just of tolerance, but compassion and understanding for athletes with special needs.
