04 Nov Leaders Invitational
Created to help improve school attendance for middle school youth in participating schools,
the TLNYC Invitational Basketball Tournament was also created to:
Teamwork and Positivity
Foster an environment dedicated to teamwork and positivity through mentorship;
Decrease youth crimes
Decrease youth arrest/crimes during the hours of 3 pm and 7 pm
Boost Community
Boost community-to-school engagement with a particular focus on involving families in school activity.
Our tournament has had 3 impact seasons between Spring 2016 and Fall/winter 2017-2018:
- Improved school attendance from players who attend participating schools; support from Brooklyn Nets via tickets helped with student athlete school engagement
- An average of 300 young people between the ages of 11-17 attend or participate in the games, subsequently limiting idle afterschool time which has historically lead to risky/questionable behavior(s); and,
- A increase in community-to-school involvement from parents, community members, and leaders.
- Participating schools from previous years: Eagle Academy for Young Men II, I.S. 218, Frederick Douglass Academy, Satellite West, P.S. 282, P.S. 284, Invictus Prep Charter School, Mott Hall Bridges Academy, Spring Creek Community School, I.S. 383, M.S. 126, P.S. 323, M.S. 61, Liberty Avenue Middle School, I.S. 292
3rd Annual installment of Tomorrow’s Leaders NYC Invitational:
- Include 12 middle schools from Brooklyn, NY. Positively engage over 150 student athletes participating weekly
- Ensure at least 300 people weekly are attending or participating in the games, subsequently limiting idle afterschool time which has historically lead to risky/questionable behavior(s)
- Include weekly community service commitments and workshops that will focus on improving social, emotional, and academic well being of student athletes.
