Every Kid Deserves Their Shot

Right now in Columbia, talented kids are sitting on the sidelines. Not because they lack heart or hustle, but because there's nowhere consistent to play, learn, and grow.

We're changing that. One court, one kid, one family at a time.

The Reality Columbia Families Face

Court time is tight. Costs stack up. Families bounce between gyms and still can't get consistent development for their kids.

Limited Court Access

Kids get maybe one hour a week if they're lucky. That's not enough to develop real skills or confidence.

Costs Keep Rising

Between gym fees, travel teams, and equipment, many families simply can't afford quality basketball programs.

No Community Hub

Families drive all over town for different programs. There's no central place where the basketball community can grow together.

Little Legends Changes Everything

We're building a community-first, three-court basketball facility designed for youth training, leagues, tournaments, open gym, and family events. It's access, opportunity, and belonging under one roof.

Three Quality Courts

For practices, leagues, and tournaments - no more scrambling for gym time

Open-Court Hours

Pickup play and community connection whenever families need it

Skill Development Programs

Clinics and camps for every age and level - from first dribble to varsity ready

Community Partnerships

Working with schools and local organizations to reach every family

Affordable Access

Family-friendly pricing and scholarships so cost isn't a barrier

Basketball Is More Than a Game

Basketball is a teacher. On our courts, kids learn life lessons that stick: how to work hard, support teammates, handle pressure, and bounce back from setbacks. We care about jump shots, sure, but we care just as much about eye contact, effort, and how you treat people.

Respect

Eye contact, effort, and how you treat people matter as much as jump shots.

Discipline

Show up for your team with consistency and commitment.

Integrity

Win with honor, lose with grace, and play the right way.

Excellence

Bring strength, courage, and pride to everything you do.

Your Support Opens Doors

Your gift doesn't just fund a building—it opens doors. You help us keep programs affordable, expand scholarships, maintain safe, clean courts, and hire coaches who invest in every kid.

You help light the gym, roll out the balls, and welcome each new family that walks in. You're part of creating a place where a shy 8-year-old finds their confidence, where a teenager learns leadership, where families connect over their shared love of the game.

Together, we'll raise a generation of little legends—kids who carry what they learn on the court into school, work, and life.

Little Legends Lion Logo

Strength, Courage, and Pride

Our lion logo and bold colors stand for strength, courage, and pride—the spirit we ask every player to bring to the floor. You'll see that identity across uniforms, events, and our digital presence, creating a clear, consistent brand that draws in players, families, volunteers, and sponsors.

Columbia's Kids Can't Wait

Every day we delay is another day talented kids miss out on the coaching, community, and character development they deserve. If you believe Columbia youth deserve a place to learn, play, and belong, we need your partnership now.
