Our mission is to work and provide a positive environment while enhancing the quality of life for today’s youths. We are dedicated to creating and providing a stronger youth culture by promoting effective services that work to improve the social and economic condition of our children.

Our members are made up of athletes, coaches, officials, camps, local association groups, leagues, church and basketball supporters. We are committed to try working with the local businesses to further increase the visibility of amateur basketball  and  promote surrounding business.

The objectives and goals of BW Sting Basketball are:
