Youth Development

Mentorship to the youth in our program along with community assistance. We use basketball as a platform to get their attention and gain their respect. Once we have their attention we prepare them to compete at quality basketball tournaments that ultimately lead to performing well at National and State Championship tournaments. We mentor them to take ownership of their community and show them by volunteering for causes we deem worthy to assist our community with growth.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

Sandhills Machine has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of the Sandhills to provide a stable environment for youth to learn the game of basketball.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To teach our Youth the importance of Community, of Togetherness! Additional goals are secure funding for uniforms, better training equipment and the use of training facilities. Equipment funding would go towards a Dr. Dish shooting machine and Vertimax training platforms which are used to develop athleticism.

We will continue to grow our brand The Machine, continue to seek sponsorship and donations through multiple avenues.

Our biggest sponsorship went to purchasing uniforms for all 5 teams, we will work to continue that relationship and see if a Dr. Dish or Vertimax is in the works.

We accomplished sending 5 teams to compete in 11+ tournaments this season. That includes each one attending State Championships and two or more National Championships, two teams competing on the Prep Hoops Passion Region Circuit. Each team was successful in its own right with the class of 2024 winning seven Nationals and six State Championship, the class of 2021 winning a State Championship, the class of 2022 competing at the Jr NBA World Championship Regionals and winning the Prep Hoops Passion Region Championship, and each of the 58 players showing growth, development, and maturity.
