college all-starsNet Gain provides free court space for 16 New York City public schools that do not have their own gyms, allowing more than 400 students to participate in after-school sports. In collaboration with Youth, I.N.C. and Basketball City, Urban Dove arranges for the schools’ home games and also organizes community service projects for the student-athletes to help teach teamwork, sportsmanship and responsibility. To help raise money for the program, students team up with corporate sponsors and play in a tournament.

“Through Net Gain, I have learned that teamwork wins championships and that players need to remember to never give up on each other."
