The Family Inc.
The official Nike travel program for girls basketball in Indiana
Mission and Vision
The Family Inc G.Y.M. is a not for profit youth organization offering aspiring and motivated student athletes access to a rewarding and personalized girls youth mentoring (G.Y.M. ) experience. Though we promote education foremost, we use the sport of basketball as our tool to help young ladies realize their dream of a post secondary education. Over the years, we have helped more than 100 young ladies receive full scholarships to colleges and universities throughout the United States.
Showcasing Talents
For the past 18 years, the Family Inc. has consistently been ranked as one of the top travel programs in the nation. As one of less than twenty five official girls Nike programs nationwide, our student athletes have access to an unprecedented opportunity to first develop the skills needed to compete at the college level, then to showcase those skills on a national stage. The best indication of future success is past success, and there are few programs in existence that can match The Family's track record of developing Division 1, All -American, Miss Basketball, and WNBA level players. When ready, our athletes compete at elite Nike, US Junior National, and AAU national events and are scouted by the nations most prestigous universities. Because of our long history of success, college coaches know and respect The Family, and an association with our program is a powerful asset for our student athletes as they enter the recruiting process.
Youth Mentoring
The Family is appropriately named, as there is much more to the program than athletics. Serving females ages 8-18, Our Family, just like your family, works to help young ladies grow into succesful and independent adults. We provide a variety of support services; academic analysis and tutoring, adult mentoring, "sister to sister" mentoring, and employment networking. Academics are highly valued and students are encouraged to bring their lessons and report cards to workouts. The Family is a diverse organization that provides our participants a jump start on their college and work life as they learn to interact with and understand kids from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
