ABOUT
RISE YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE 3v3
RISE Youth Basketball League is a 3-on-3 youth basketball initiative designed to create safe, structured, and inspiring spaces for young athletes to grow. More than just competition, this league promotes positive youth engagement, supports local athletic programs, and empowers communities through sport.
The league serves three core purposes:
1. Youth Development: Offering an accessible, exciting basketball format that teaches teamwork, discipline, and confidence.
2. Community Uplift: Creating meaningful, recurring events that unite neighborhoods, volunteers, and local organizations.
3. Program Sustainability: Acting as a recurring fundraiser for school and community basketball programs through sponsorships, merch, and community donations.
R – Respect
We honor the game, our teammates, coaches, referees, opponents, and ourselves. Respect is the foundation of every interaction on and off the court.

I – Integrity
We do what’s right, even when no one is watching. Integrity means being honest, accountable, and committed to growth through discipline and hard work.
⸻
S – Sportsmanship
We compete with heart, humility, and honor. True sportsmanship means celebrating success with grace and handling setbacks with maturity.
⸻
E – Excellence
We pursue excellence in every drill, every game, and every attitude. Excellence isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistent effort, improvement, and passion for the game.

PRINCIPLES OF RISE YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE
MEET THE DIRECTOR
Demetrius Scott
Organizing Director
Hi, I’m Demetrius Scott, Director of RISE YBL (Youth Basketball League), Regional Director of DY Sports Tournaments, and a Certified Youth Basketball Developer with USA Basketball. I have over 20 years of experience helping young athletes grow on and off the court. My passion for this game runs deep, and it’s been my mission to use basketball as a tool to teach discipline, confidence, and leadership.
My journey has taken me from being a lead demonstrator and camp coach at NBC Camps, to an assistant coach for the Lilac City Legends, a semi-pro club where I helped assist in player development and build a strong, positive team culture. Those experiences taught me how to bring out the best in athletes by focusing on fundamentals, communication, and a growth mindset.
Basketball has changed my life, and I’m committed to passing that gift on to the next generation—one athlete, one lesson, and one game at a time.
