Youth Basketball Program
June & July
Our signature program is over 50 years old!
The Youth Basketball League is a long-standing summer league offering coed, boys, middle school, and girls divisions. Focused on basketball fundamentals, team building, and social skills, this league provides a great opportunity for community members to connect.

Referee & Coaches in Training
Based on the success of the Youth Basketball League, and growing out of a need for coaches and referees, Charlie’s PLACE offers a training program for youth and community members to develop referee and coaching skills. This training program is a way for community members to give back! Certification support is offered.

Anti-Violence Program
Charlie’s PLACE is committed to building a strong and flourishing community. The Anti-Violence Program offered at Charlie’s PLACE teaches young people leadership skills in conflict resolution, trauma management, and emotional regulation.

Community Collaboration
Charlie’s PLACE partners with community organizations that offer events and initiatives that support youth and community development. Community engagement means collaboration with like-minded organizations.

Self-Defense Programs
Charlie’s PLACE believes that to reach full potential, community members need to be strong in mind and body. To achieve this goal, Charlie’s PLACE offers judo and martial arts programs that promote balance, discipline, and self-defense. Special classes are available upon request.
