We view sports through the lens of greater purpose which means our impact can extend far beyond the game. Sports break down barriers and create a powerful catalyst to build relationships and serve others.

Mission: Higher Standard Athletic Academy aims to develop a lifelong passion for the game of basketball in boys and girls by teaching them the fundamentals of the sport while instilling core values including teamwork, respect and sportsmanship.

Philosophy: To share sports with youth across DC/Maryland/Virginia by teaching skills, values, and wellness in a positive and fun environment.
