The Miracle League is a Christian summer basketball league that has been around for nearly 2 decades. It started on the North Side but now includes teams from the South and West as well. Games are played at the safe and encouraging environment of Moody Bible Institute's Solheim Center (where Bulls opponents and Rookie Training Camp have played).
Even if you don't have a formal youth program, this league can be a way to build relationships in the community. Churches could even team up and sponsor a team.
Please contact GRIP Youth ASAP if you even have an interest in forming a team.
