Spring 2025 AMF Basketball Program Join us for a basketball season to remember!

One thing the AMF Basketball Program knows how to do is build community. We are all family here and proud of it!

This past season we gave our players opportunities to coach, scorekeep, and referee. This helped build leadership skills such as compassion, responsibility, empathy, communication, and more. All youth had the option to earn credits towards the concessions stand or pick up volunteer service hours for things such as National Honor Society and college resumes🎖️Big ups to Coach Vince for giving our young referees great instruction and guidance during the fast paced games.

This is just the start! We have plans to continue this great initiative and create additional opportunities around media and broadcasting in our future. We see a lot of successful futures, both on and off the court ✨

We are a community that is bigger than basketball 🏀

We’re beyond grateful to for sponsoring the opportunity for Aktive Minds Foundation to be the First Down Recipient during yesterday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings (Nov. 2nd) at Ford Field! 🦁💙

Comerica generously donated $1,500 to support our youth programming, helping us continue to empower young minds through sports, leadership, and community engagement.

From all of us at Aktive Minds Foundation, thank you for believing in our mission and investing in Detroit’s youth. 🙏💪

Halfway Through the Season & Going Strong! 💪

We’re officially halfway through another amazing season of the AMF Character Development Basketball Program — serving nearly 100 incredible kids, ages 6-16! Each week, we’re seeing these young athletes grow not only on the court but as leaders, teammates, and role models in their communities.

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors who make this possible:

💧💖 - for sponsoring 30 players this season and providing our league T-shirts

❤️✨ The JDR Foundation - for their continued support of Aktive Minds Foundation’s youth sports programs and all their involvement in the community work we do throughout Detroit.

Your belief in our mission fuels every drill, every lesson, and every moment of growth these kids experience. Together, we’re building character, confidence, and community. We could not do this purposeful work without supporters like you!
