In the city of poverty people wonder how we succeed. In a city of minorities people wonder how we succeed. In a community where the negative influence is all around you. Where drugs surround you, because the weed man live on the same street right down from you.

DA ZONE - IT'S BIGGER THAN BASKETBALL
As a basketball coach, you have a crucial role in shaping your players' lives. It's not just about teaching them the technical aspects of the game, but also instilling valuable life skills such as teamwork, effective communication, and resilience. By fostering a growth mindset, you can help your players achieve success both on and off the court. Taking a holistic approach to coaching is the key to unlocking your players' full potential.
"Coach Bailey, thank you for being a positive role model not only to me but too many others as well. Your guidance and support have been invaluable, and I am grateful for all that you do."

When I first got introduced to the game, Bailey was one of the most influential people to take me up under his wings and develop me into a phenomenal combo guard. I was a stubborn and angry kid. I had so much built up anger inside of me, and I did not know how to release it. “Da Zone” became my outlet, and it helped me find a way to release all the anger and stress I was going through as a kid.
With that being said, with all the hard workouts and late-night grind sessions, “All the late-night workouts and the consistency this man had drilled inside of me, made me stronger and wiser. “Da Zone” turned me into one of the top shooting guards in my conference, and one of the top scorers on my team. Bailey made me believed in myself. Who would have thought, I would have grown into this confident woman. I have improved so much because of “Da Zone”. Not just my game, but the person I am today.
