To empower youth by unlocking their full potential through dynamic program activities, skills development, and leadership training.

Play with passion. Grow through experience. Lead with purpose.

At FORCE 1, our programs are led by a team of passionate coaches, educators, and youth mentors who bring years of experience in youth sports, skills, and leadership development. Each coach is dedicated not only to teaching skills but also to helping children grow in confidence, character, and teamwork. Through engaging activities and positive mentorship, they create a safe, supportive environment where every child can thrive. Our goal is simple: to make kids better athletes, better leaders, and better people, on and off the playing ground.

FOCUS - We stay present, set goals, and give our best effort every time.

OWNERSHIP – We take responsibility for our actions, effort, and attitude.

RESPECT – We value ourselves, our teammates, coaches, families, and community.

CONFIDENCE – We believe in ourselves, trust our skills, and face challenges with courage.

EXCELLENCE – We strive to be better every day in sport, in character, and in life.

1 - ONE TEAM – We work together, support each other, and grow stronger as one.

FORCE 1 was founded in 2009 by Cray Bony, a former professional basketball player with over 20 years of experience coaching and developing youth programs across the U.S., Europe, and Africa. His vision has always been bigger than basketball, combining world-class training with leadership and life skills to help young people grow on and off the court. Today, FORCE 1 connects athletes, schools, coaches, and communities to create programs that build skills, character, and confidence for the next generation.
