Siloam Springs Basketball Association hasn't added a story.
In the Fall of 2018 a group of passionate individuals were gathered together to put together a few teams to play in a local, competitive basketball league. Little did we know that what seemed like a simple volunteer coaching opportunity to pour into some local youth that wanted another avenue to play the great game of basketball has turned into a full training, development and team building operation. From the dedication of its student athletes, parents and volunteer staff, the Siloam Springs Basketball Association was born.
Our mission is simple, SSBA exists to help develop the skills, teamwork, and character needed for young athletes to excel on the court and as future leaders in our community.
From what started as a 4 team 49 player organization in 2018 has ballooned to serving 200+ local youth, 52 weeks out of the year. What started as simply a 3rd-6th grade girls/boys opportunity to play the game of basketball and learn some life skills along the way has blossomed to 2nd-12th grade, girls and boys, 52 weeks out of the year, developing the skills and character both on and off the floor.
We have been so blessed by our local resources giving us the opportunity to utilize their space over the last 3 years. Truly blessed. However, the time has come that we have outgrown our welcome and its time we BUILD THE FOUNDATION for the U to build the WE in Siloam Springs. As one coach has put it, we need to be more than just a jersey.
Speaking of coaches, this organization doesn’t run without the dedication and investment our coaches make day in and day out. They tell the need the best:
*Creates basketball culture in the community. The best programs year in and year out have strong youth programs and ball is in their blood. It’s an expectation in those areas and and not just fingers crossed. That comes with access to a gym and a community to support it.
*DEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT—Space to work with kids on a regular basis that have a desire to improve fundamentally.
*It would create opportunities in this area to host tournaments which brings business and exposure to our local businesses.
*If you build it they will come
*Building champions isn’t easy!
*If you think that this building is great then you should see the kids lives we’re impacting. That’s bigger than any building out there.
*Keep it LOCAL
WE’VE MADE IT TO THRU THE PLANNING STAGE AND NOW WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO GET FROM PAPER TO DIRT AND ALL POINTS IN BETWEEN.
The dollars raised in this stage will finish out our building set, start site research and engineering, and secure our general contractor to start the process of putting together all the pieces to obtain building approvals.
THE SSBA Family thanks you for your support and joining us on this journey to bring a facility to our community that will continue to build the foundation of WEnotme, ONETEAM, PANTHERS.
