DRIBBLE, DUNK & SHINE AT MT. VERNON’S PREMIER YOUTH HOOPS EXPERIENCE
Join New York’s Favorite Youth League And Elevate Your Game Today!
“4th Street Classic is not only for extraordinary student-athletes who excel in athletics but who also need support in social and academic development as well.”
Our mission is to bridge the gap between community, socialization, academics, and athletics.
The 4TH STREET CLASSIC program will help student-athletes in regard to the importance of education in order to bring up their academic standards. Through these programs, we will provide boy mentorship support, counseling on drug and tobacco abuse prevention, continuing education, while building awareness of the many internships in job opportunities as statisticians, photographers, coaches, referees, broadcasters, scorers, trainers, etc.
