Youth basketball with Team EVO.

COAF funds access and training opportunities for young basketball players through Team EVO, a supported youth basketball development program.

The program

Helping young athletes evolve their game

Team EVO is committed to helping young athletes grow and evolve at every level of basketball, with a personalized coaching experience that develops basketball IQ alongside fundamental skills. The program fields both competitive and developmental teams, built on the belief that with dedication, support, and discipline, every child can become a great athlete — regardless of natural ability.

Athletes get year-round skill development, team practices, and competitive opportunities in a supportive, energetic environment — whether they're picking up a ball for the first time or pushing toward the next level.

COAF supports Team EVO by funding access: covering registration and training costs for players whose families face financial barriers, so the program's roster reflects the whole community.
