DESCRIPTION
DeenUP Athletics is Bigger Than Basketball. This is an innovative community-led social startup that is dramatically changing the way our youths grow into adulthood. By bringing together the discipline and training that comes with basketball skills development and meshing this with dedicated youth mentorship, DeenUP Athletics pushes young people to aim high and put in their very best. DeenUP Members, the youths we train, are taught to continually renew their intentions and align their life goals. It’s about hard work, finesse, strength of mind, and devotion. With this in mind, the trainers and staff at DeenUP Athletics strive to provide the very best in terms of training quality and personal guidance. DeenUP Athletics staff and trainers are dedicated to ensure the success of our hundreds of players. For us, success is holistic. Our players, DeenUP Members, are expected to maintain a healthy balance between training, school, work, family, and community. Our staff and trainers run day camps, after-school programs, weekly clinics, summer camps, tournaments, leagues, and our very own DeenUP Elite Teams.TRANSCRIPT
