WHAT IS CREW LIFE?
C.R.E.W. stands for Community, Responsibility, Education, and Will. At C.R.E.W. Life, we are dedicated to empowering youth and enriching our community through a diverse range of sports leagues and camps. Our mission extends beyond sports to include personal & career development programs, youth internship opportunities for high school students, and safe havens on weekends where young people can thrive.
We strive to reach disadvantaged youth by providing educational programming, college opportunity tours, and supportive initiatives like backpack drives. Our goal is to inspire young individuals to recognize their potential, set educational aspirations, and achieve their dreams—all while fostering stronger communities.
COMMUNITY
Giving back and being an active member of your community is vital in every
stage of life. We believe in giving back any time the opportunity is presented
and teach that idea to our youth.
RESPONSIBILITY
Being responsible for your actions and understanding consequences never
goes out of style. We instill a sense of responsibility through our camps that
stay with kids for a lifetime.
EDUCATION
You’re always a student of the game, no matter the occasion. Education and
learning go hand in hand, not only in basketball but life as well.
WILL
Determination to reach the next level and a solid work ethic are unmatched
traits. Strong-willed youth become independent and learn to manage
themselves while accomplishing goals.
