Lay-Up is an evidence-based program that combines research and best-practices from four primary frameworks into our program design and outcomes: positive youth development, long-term athlete development, a place-based approach and future of work skills. Their programming is also informed by research on equity, inclusivity and meaningful participation for youth in sport. Lay-Up brings the entire culture of basketball into our programming. The game of basketball is the foundation, but the culture of basketball is intertwined with fashion, art, music, film, photography, social justice, technology and entrepreneurship.
