Sports Academy Basketball Club appreciates your support this season and seasons to
come.

Dear Hopeful Sponsor,

Sports Academy Basketball Club sets out to benefit youth through the sport of basketball. We would
appreciate your help for this year’s campaign. As our AAU season begins in the spring of 2015, our
fundraising efforts begin now. Our goal is to raise money so that travel accommodations, tournament
fees, practice time as well as equipment and uniform expenses can be subsidized by various donations.
This will enable our team to participate, compete and gain prominent exposure in the Amateur Athletic
Union.

At the Lester Roberts Sports Academy we focus on Education, Service, and Basketball. While basketball
is the vehicle used to get the kids into the Lester Roberts Sports Academy, our ultimate goal is to use this
as a gateway to get them involved into other programs including, but not limited to Community Service
Outreach and Tutoring, and for the adults, GED readiness. Being a part of all three elements of the
organization provides the social and academic skills along with the work ethic required to succeed in life
and add value along the way.

Our volunteers and members, are committed to see that our children are trained by dedicated coaches
that foster an environment that emphasizes athletic excellence, physical and mental discipline, self-
esteem, leadership and sportsmanship. This commitment is essential in order for each player to reach
their full potential.

Our Goals:
 Build self-esteem
 Promote education
 Create men of service
 Encourage the pursuit of achieving both individual and team goals
 Promote sportsmanship
 Show respect for individuals, including teammates and competitors alike
 Develop core offensive and defensive fundamentals
 Provide a fun and winning environment for players
 Learn and teach discipline under the concept of
T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More)
 Dream-building… “Without dreams, there is no reality!”
- Luis B. Couto

Our team will travel and compete throughout the state of Louisiana. When opportunities present
themselves, the team will play nationally to expand the level of exposure they receive from institutions
of higher education and ideally an opportunity to explore the possibility of athletic scholarship offers.

In addition to providing the highest quality of coaching and fundamental skill development, our ambition
is aimed toward keeping the youth of today in the classroom and steered away from negative
influences.
We value the importance of education on and off of the court, service and appreciation for the
community and our team philosophy will embody these elements of emphasis.

We appreciate any type of contribution to our program either monetary, or goods and services.

Thank you for considering the Sports Academy Basketball Club’s AAU program for sponsorship. If you
can help us out in any way it would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Edward Robinson
Director of Basketball Operations
