OUR HISTORY

OUR HISTORY

For a decade, Nati Elite Basketball has empowered youth and their families to thrive on and off the court.

 
Founded in 2015 as a summer basketball camp, we have grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses basketball as a gateway to faith, mentorship, academics, health and wellness, and community partnerships—constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of the families we serve while building a legacy of leadership, character, and opportunity.

A Decade of Faith, Purpose & Impact
​

For more than a decade, Nati Elite Basketball has used the game as a gateway to change lives. Founded with a vision to reach youth through basketball, faith, and mentorship, Nati Elite has evolved into a holistic development program that empowers student-athletes to overcome their circumstances and thrive on and off the court. What began as a summer basketball camp in 2015 has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to academic support, spiritual growth, health and wellness, and community partnerships. Each milestone in our journey reflects our commitment to developing leaders grounded in character, faith, and purpose.​​​

Responding to Changing Needs


Over the years, Nati Elite has expanded beyond athletics to address the deeper needs of the families we serve. We’ve seen that success doesn’t just happen on the court—it starts at home, in the classroom, and within the heart. Our holistic model now connects athletes and parents to tutoring resources, mental and physical wellness support, and faith-based guidance. By partnering with organizations like City Gospel Mission, we’re helping families gain access to job readiness training, career placement, and community support programs that promote long-term stability and growth.

Nati Elite Basketball Today


Today, Nati Elite stands as more than a basketball organization—it’s a ministry of mentorship, education, and empowerment. We remain dedicated to helping youth overcome their circumstances, grow in faith and discipline, and become leaders who impact their communities. Through athletic development, academic excellence, and community collaboration, Nati Elite continues to build a legacy of strength, purpose, and opportunity—one player, one family, and one season at a time.
