CONGRATS 9th grade girls for making 2012 Nationals
2010 9th grade 3rd in the country!
United Sons and Daughters at the Ronald McDonald House May 21, 2010. Giving back to those less fortunate.
New Haven Register Article--Nice touch by former Cross star Troy Bradford, bringing his nationally ranked 15-year-old AAU team from Stamford to the Ronald McDonald House in New Haven Friday. His reasoning was twofold. Not only was it a chance to do some fun things with the boys and girls of RMH, but it served a lesson to his own players, a mix of suburb and inner-city kids, how fortunate they are by comparison.
Our Growth
Since inception we have gone from 11 players (one team) in year 1 (3 AAU tournament championships) , to three teams and 34 players in year 2 (8 AAU tournament championships all teams total/8th grade team finished 22nd in the country at Nationals) , to 67 players and six teams in year 3 (9 AAU tournament championships all teams total/9th grade team finished 3rd in the country at Nationals). Year four saw us quadruple in size with over 100 players and 7 more AAU tournament championships That's accumulating 27 total AAU tournament championships from 6th graders to 10th graders/4 different age groups). The 10th grade team won their pool at Nationals with two of its best players not making the trip to Orlando. Schadrac Casimir averaged 31 ppg and 7 assists to lead the team. Four players from that team are being recruited by Division 1 colleges (Siena, Fairfield, UConn, Sacred Heart, Army, Yale, Memphis, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Holy Cross, Lehigh, and Quinnipiac).
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring together athletes of widely diversified backgrounds to bridge the economic gap. Transcending racial, social, and economic differences in order to foster long-term relationships among student athletes culminating an unbreakable bond. We are one!
