LEAGUE INFO

Project C.H.U.C.K. is Best of the Batch Foundation’s longest-running program, Continuously Helping Uplift Community Kids for 21 years. Starting with just 85 participants, Project C.H.U.C.K. now serves over 350 children annually. The program is created for boys and girls ages 7-18. The focus of the league conquers more than giving kids something to do over the summer because it also builds discipline, self-confidence, team orientation, and fundamental basketball skills.

Participants play 15 games over the course of seven weeks with the ultimate goals to advance in the playoffs and to the championship game on Championship Day. The game is used to draw kids in, but education is always the focus. Each participant is required to read a book assigned to their team and attend three mandatory study halls. Athletes must attend all study halls in order to play.
