Ohio Crossover Athletics was founded in 2009 with a goal to provide positive alternative basketball programs for adolescents that focus on integrity, credible sports education, and commitment to results that exceed expectations. Our program began with one team and has now grown to include 25+ boys & girls teams in the 4th - 12th grades. All of the coaches in our program are either current high school coaches or have college coaching experience. We spend a minimum of half of each practice working on individual skill development and our program participates in some of the biggest and best tournaments in the country.
We believe that through athletics, one can develop traits and skills that can be used in adolescence as well as adulthood. This includes, but is not limited to, discipline, self-esteem, team-building, problem solving, communication, and time management. Athletics build up student-athletes and help to form a positive atmosphere among peers, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community.
Ohio Crossover Athletics strives to instill these principles into each player and bring out their best so they can not only be superior on the court, but crossover and become future leaders in our society.
