After several incredible years of serving our community through youth basketball, we are announcing the closure of Aspire Basketball Academy. This decision wasn’t easy, but as many small business owners know, the realities of running an independent business, especially in the sports and youth development space - can be challenging. Despite these challenges, we look back with immense pride at everything Aspire has accomplished.

From our opening day back in 2021 - a celebration of our vision, values, and the incredible energy that our young athletes brought to the court. Families, coaches, and supporters filled the gym, and the excitement was palpable. It was more than a showcase of basketball; it was a statement of belief in the potential of our youth and the power of community.

Over the years, Aspire has been more than a basketball academy - it’s been a place where kids have built confidence, friendships, discipline, and pride. We’ve watched beginners grow into leaders, seen shy players find their voice, and shared in countless moments of teamwork and triumph. To every athlete who walked through our doors, every parent who cheered from the sidelines, and every coach or volunteer who gave their time and heart: thank you.

Though we’re closing this chapter, we do so with full hearts and heads held high. Aspire may no longer be on the court, but its spirit will live on in the players we've helped shape and the community we've been proud to be part of. We’re grateful for the journey, and excited for whatever comes next. On to the next adventure.

- Coach Lee
