House of Refuge Ministries

Sports Academy - Team Garrett Temple 5th Grade Team sets out to benefit youth through the sport of basketball. We would appreciate your help for this year’s season. Our goal is to raise money so that travel accommodations, tournament fees, practice time as well as equipment and uniform expenses can be subsidized by various donations. This will enable our team to participate, compete and gain prominent exposure in the Amateur Athletic Union. Our coaches, volunteers and members, are committed to seeing that our children are trained in an environment that emphasizes athletic excellence, physical and mental discipline, self-esteem, leadership and sportsmanship.

Our team will travel and compete throughout the United States. When opportunities present themselves, the team will play nationally to expand the level of exposure they receive from institutions of higher education and ideally an opportunity to explore the possibility of athletic scholarship offers. In addition to providing the highest quality of coaching and fundamental skill development, our ambition is aimed toward keeping the youth of today in the classroom and steered away from negative influences.
