At the core of the ADS Sentinels is a mission to help young people grow, dream, and succeed — on the court, in the classroom, and in life. Through mentorship, skill-building, and character development, we empower youth with confidence, leadership, and resilience. Our programs teach discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, proving that with commitment and belief, anything is possible. We’re proud to create a family-focused, positive environment where friendships thrive, pride shines, and every child feels supported to chase their goals.
“Guard the Win” isn’t just our motto — it’s our daily mindset. For the ADS Sentinels, winning means showing up for our community, uplifting families, and creating opportunities that inspire growth and belonging. We partner with parents, schools, and local organizations to make a lasting impact, celebrating achievements big and small while building a culture rooted in unity and support. When we lift each other up, we all win — and that’s what it means to be part of the Sentinels family.
Youth Development is at the heart of the ADS Sentinels mission. Our programs equip young athletes with the skills, discipline, and confidence needed to excel both on and off the court. Through structured training, skill-building clinics, and competitive play, we focus on fundamentals, performance, and a strong work ethic.
Our experienced coaches and mentors provide individualized guidance that builds leadership, teamwork, and self-belief — preparing players not only for basketball success, but for life. Whether a child is just starting their journey or working toward higher-level competition, the ADS Sentinels offer a clear path for growth, achievement, and future opportunity.
Our work extends beyond the court through meaningful partnerships with schools, where we collaborate to bring engaging, real-world financial education directly into classrooms and after-school programs. These partnerships are crucial in ensuring that young people not only develop their athletic and leadership skills but also gain the knowledge they need to build strong, successful futures.
By combining the power of sport with education, the ADS Sentinels help equip the next generation with the tools to thrive in every area of life, preparing them to make confident financial decisions and become leaders in their communities.
We believe that true success begins with a healthy mind and body. Our Health & Wellness Initiatives are designed to promote physical fitness, mental well-being, and balanced lifestyles for youth, families, and the entire community. Through basketball training, fitness programs, and active lifestyle events, we encourage participants to develop healthy habits that extend far beyond the court. From improving strength and endurance to teaching the importance of nutrition, sleep, and self-care, our programs focus on helping individuals build a strong foundation for lifelong health and success.
But wellness is about more than just physical fitness, it’s about nurturing the whole person. That’s why the ADS Sentinels partner with local health professionals, wellness organizations, and community groups to provide education, resources, and support for mental and emotional health as well. We are committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where individuals can learn, grow, and thrive, and where families can come together to support one another in living healthier, happier lives. Through these initiatives, the ADS Sentinels are proud to lead by example, empowering our community to make positive choices and embrace wellness as a way of life.
Community Engagement Days are a special part of what makes the ADS Sentinels more than just a basketball team, they’re a celebration of connection, service, and shared purpose. On these days, our players, coaches, and staff step off the court and into the heart of the community to volunteer, support local causes, and make a positive difference where it matters most. Whether it’s visiting schools, hosting free youth clinics, participating in neighborhood cleanups, or partnering with local organizations on service projects, we’re dedicated to building stronger, more united communities. These events give us a chance to give back to the people who support us, inspire future leaders, and show what it truly means to “Guard the Win” beyond the game. Through Community Engagement Days, the ADS Sentinels aim to uplift, empower, and create lasting impact together.
We welcome families, schools, volunteers, and local businesses to join us in these efforts as partners in service and champions for our community’s future.
