Our Mission

Reach Higher is a competitive Christian basketball program instilling positive physical, mental, and moral efficacy for our coaches, our youth players, and the families we touch.  In the midst of difficult choices and high pressure environments, Reach Higher is a guiding voice for teens, helping them to run confidently — in basketball and into a future full of hope.

Reach Higher 501(C)3

Reach Higher, founded in 2004, is a Christian-based basketball organization located in Atlanta, Georgia and St. George Utah.  We are preparing our players to play high school, and hopefully, college basketball, while also being prepared for the challenges of LIFE.  As a 501©3 organization (EIN #27-4534885), Reach Higher Kings accepts tax-deductible contributions that allow the organization to keep player fees low and help send qualifying teams to national tournaments.  Reach Higher Kings shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin (ancestry).   

Please browse the site for further information regarding our remarkable organization! Thank you for your interest, and we hope to see you in some capacity (as a player, coach, parent, supporter, and/or fan).

OUR VISION
 
To partner with Reach Higher Athletics to build our own facility that will operate as a safe haven for teams to meet and practice, as well as  bring our players ELITE top level training.  
Providing Higher Vision - Stronger Hoops - Enlightened Hope!

Training with integrity results in winning success!

The success of a Basketball Team requires all five players to contribute on the court, by being fundamentally and mentally strong, and clearly knowing their purpose and goals in a game. These characteristics and skills are also fundamentally necessary for a productive and satisfying life.  We implement a holistic approach by focusing on the five areas listed below, to ultimately promote the achievement of competitive greatness on the court and in each player’s life.
#1 – Integrity Coaching
#2 – Authentic Life Foundational Teaching
#3 – Conditioning (developing strong athletic/mental toughness) 
#4 – Competitive Tournament Teams, Skill Camps and Leagues
#5 – Be a Light in the Community by Serving Others
