O3 Elite Sponsors

We are the O3 Elite SME/Coalition basketball program. Our program was founded in 2005 to provide student athletes the opportunity, through basketball, to develop skills such as discipline, respect and self-worth. Our focus is to allow youth from ages 7 years old to 19 years old pursue athletic and academic scholarships through our training methodologies and athletic support systems. We believe this better prepares them for success as they progress though life.

Over the past 11 years, more than 1,000 young boys and girls have participated in our program. Many of them have been awarded full or partial scholarships through the work and opportunities afforded to them while in our program.

Our location is primarily in the Southern California area. We have a diverse group of youth spanning from Rancho Cucamonga, Yucaipa, Lake Elsinore, and LA county. Our youth come from a wide range of ethnic, social, and financial backgrounds.

Each year, the O3 Elite program includes approximately 100-200 student-athletes who are active in the program. We participate in a year-round “season” of practices, league games, and regional and national tournaments.
Reaching this many children and making a meaningful difference in their lives is invaluable, but somewhat expensive. The costs associated with practice facilities, game fees, travel, coaching, equipment, and uniforms amount to about $250 per month per student-athlete. Monies to cover these expenses are generated through a combination of monthly fees, fundraisers, and sponsorships. The parents of our student-athletes believe so strongly in our program that they support us financially to the best of their abilities.

We are proud of the accomplishments of our student-athletes and are looking for sponsors who share our values and are willing to partner with us to make a difference in their lives. At this time many of our families are in dire straits financially. The Southern California school districts are financially destitute and are cutting back on the vast majority of extracurricular activities and without programs like ours, many of the opportunities and dreams that our youth have will never materialize. We humbly ask for any sponsorship or donation that you can possibly give to help our youth.

As an organization, we are in desperate need of a website to expand our growth and to promote our youth to the various colleges and services. We also have needs for donations to assist in covering gym time, uniforms, shoes, equipment, and tournament fees.

In addition to cash grants and product donations we also offer the following Annual Signature Sponsorships:
