Why We Exist

Healthier lives for youth in Asia through basketball

Young children and adolescents are facing serious health issues across Asia due to low levels of activity and sedentary behavior. Many marginalized youth in the region face a simple barrier: having a safe space to move and play.

Basketball, one of the world’s most popular sports, offers numerous benefits for healthy development. The fast-paced game incorporates strength, speed and coordination, is widely accessible and has low barriers to entry. That makes it an ideal platform to support long-term wellness behaviors and teach life skills such as teamwork and focus.

Take the next step

This coach education platform is designed for coaches and teachers working with young people aged 6–21, regardless of experience level. Using basketball as a vehicle, the platform supports healthy living rather than performance outcomes. Coaches are encouraged to apply the learning flexibly, adapt content to their own sessions, and use it alongside other coaching resources to strengthen their practice and impact.
