About Us

• We are passionate about bringing an affordable fundamentally sound sports program that families with all types of budgets can afford. We work hard to find coaches that want to give back their time and talent to the kids in the community. There's nothing more rewarding than spreading the knowledge and setting up kids for success through sports. We also love working with the high school students in the community teaching them how to volunteer and give their time back while they earn community service hours for their high school & college programs. We started our sports program with Basketball and have now expanded in 2015 to four (4) sports: basketball, flag football, cheer, and soccer. We also are officially a Jr Suns/Jr Mercury youth basketball league and an NFL youth flag football league. We are truly excited to offer these awesome programs with more than just sports, but some amazing experiences! We are determined to not let any child be left behind, so we came up with many options for parents to ensure the whole family gets it motion and stays in motion with RISE. We ask private donors and businesses to help us build our scholarship fund so that we can award 10-20% scholarship of registration, uniforms, and admissions every season. Without support from the community these goals just truly wouldn't be possible. In our Jr Suns/Jr Mercury basketball program we take all the kids to a Suns/Mercury game every season and play our championship games at the Suns arena and host an amazing End of Season Celebration for all the kids at the arena. We've also been able to take the kids to play during half time games, meet and hi-5 players coming out of the tunnel and have private autograph and photograph sessions for them. We love creating once of a lifetime memories for the kids in our community! For the NFL Flag Football sport, we have had numerous NFL Alumni & College players come out and work directly with the kids on the field, sign autographs and take pictures. We've given out tickets to Cardinal games and get to offer silent auction and raffle items from many celebrities throughout the year. We look forward to expanding our reach in the various communities around the valley through sports and giving back and hope you will join us! If you are interested in volunteering your time to coach a team or donate so that a child in financial need can play sports, please contact us.
