EMT Sports: Encouraging the Youth to Engage in Sports

Empowerment Through Sports (EMT Sports) is an organization that builds and maintains a support mechanism for the young men and women that posses the ambition and drive to be successful in life through sports. They provide an introduction of confidence, self-esteem, and authority with respect to ones dreams in life. 

The organization helps  the youth in our community to realize their dreams and provides the tools necessary in actualizing them. Many young men and women share the dream of playing sports professionally and Empowerment Through Sports understands this reality as with a commitment and dedication to help young athletes reach their full potential.

In addition, EMT Sports helps the youth to build other skills by providing life choices and alternatives during their “pursuit of excellence”.

The Arizona All-Stars Basketball Concept Works with Existing Club Teams

A new team concept has been introduced to Arizona called the Arizona All-Stars Basketball Virtual Club Team.  It is a collaborative youth basketball initiative consisting of elite players from multiple basketball programs who are given the opportunity to temporarily play together in local, regional and national tournaments.

It is a virtual team concept designed not to conflict with the players current club team program, but instead, to enhance the participating coach's club team programs' offerings and their player's basketball experience by occasionally playing with some of the top youth basketball talent in the area.

Designed primarily as a supplement to already established club teams, academies and training programs who have coaches and elite players looking for additional play experience in an All-Star team environment, the public at large is also encouraged to participate.  The website is www.ArizonaAllstarsBasketball.com.
