Ball-Out Academy Inc

Ball-Out Academy Inc. is a nonprofit organization located in Sacramento, CA, founded in 2019. We now serve youth ages 5-24 and their families, with a mission to provide personal development, academic support, social competence, and promote civic responsibility. Our programs include one-on-one mentorship, weekly sports activities, after-school programs, peer support groups, and parenting support spaces. While sports are central to our programs, we go beyond by offering holistic services.

We began in the Marina Vista (formerly known as Seavey Circle) and Alder Grove Community, and now serve over 16 schools across Sacramento City Unified School District and seven neighborhoods. Our group mentoring sessions, held twice a month, consist of 20 to 40 youths sharing experiences and receiving guidance. Our sports programs provide recreational opportunities and skill development, including sports camps and development clinics on weekends and evenings. Our workshops, both in-person and via Zoom, cover topics like racial inequity, financial literacy, and college readiness.

We have a strong background in serving youth ages 12-24. As leaders of the Kings and Queens Rise Basketball League, we serve over 300 youths from low-income communities across Sacramento, aiming to prevent third-party homicide and foster cross-neighborhood relationships.

We also partner with the school district as supplemental providers, offering after-school mentoring and sports activities and as part of the Safe Schools Team to prevent violence on campuses. Through these efforts, we build and strengthen relationships with our youth.
