ONE NEIGHBORHOOD AT A TIME
PROJECTS
netz 4 Life (n4L) credos of “Reaching Out- One Neighborhood at a Time” & “Leave No Rim Netless” are seen with team and community partner unity, which increases awareness of the importance of keeping at risk youth active and providing them with the hope to pursue their dreams. Revitalizing basketball courts is a small, yet intricate portion of the overall n4L mission and vision.
netz 4 Life WITHOUT BORDERS: netz 4 Life has recently been to Costa Rica, Ka’anapali, San Francisco and Arizona in order to continue our mission, without borders, of “Leaving No Rim Netless” and “Reaching Out-One Neighborhood at a Time."
HERITAGE PARK, TUSTIN: The netz 4 Life team came in and accessed the condition and longevity of the courts, filled cracks, refinished courts, wrapped poles, painted backboards and hung new nets, giving this park a renewed life. Photo Gallery
