Our Mission

Mentorship that travels — from Chicago to Dakar.

FTA is an elite mobile training service teaching the fundamentals of basketball, promoting education, and helping build positive self-esteem in boys and girls from middle school through college freshman.

We connect youth with coaches, educators, and professionals who care — so every student-athlete discovers their purpose, pursues their potential, and becomes a leader both on and off the court.
