The Boys and Girls Club of Kansas City is meeting the skyrocketing demand for accessible and affordable youth sports in the metro area, providing opportunities for nearly 900 kids in their basketball program. The league hosts games every Saturday, giving inner-city kids the chance to develop skills, build confidence, and be active in a structured environment. The program, which has more than doubled in size over the past two years, partners with organizations like the Police Athletic League and Kansas City Public Schools to ensure affordability for families. Parents, like Tekoya Trice, praise the program for teaching kids valuable lessons about teamwork, competition, and sportsmanship. Volunteer coach Will Johnson highlights the importance of kids having fun and making friends through sports. Senior Director of Athletics Waymond King reflects on his own positive experiences at the club and is pleased to see the legacy being passed on to the next generation.
