Our Program

Why Orangeburg Xpress Youth Basketball Organization?

Youth fromSouth Carolina’s poor and under-served communities face limited educational opportunities and often hold little hope for their futures. This situation is further exacerbated for young athletes from these communities who grow up in an environment of exploitation that:
- Undermines their academic, emotional, and personal development and
- Limits their sense of possibilities beyond sports (pro sports or bust)
