ADMIRALS BASKETBALL
Give Youth a
____
Court of Hope
Young people in Ukraine and Moldova are growing up in the shadow of war, instability, poverty, and family disruption. Many are looking for a safe place to belong, a trusted adult to guide them, and a path toward hope.
When you give to Admirals, you help young people grow into disciplined, Christ-centered leaders — on the court and beyond. Every gift walks with a real child.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
____
Your generosity helps provide the people, places, and support needed to form the next generation of Christ-centered leaders.
■ Safe Team Environmeants
Where youth grow through structure, discipline, and belonging.
■ Trusted Coaches & Mentors
Who invest in players on and off the court, building lasting relationships.
■ Leadership Development
That helps older athletes become role models for younger players.
■ Gym Access & Equipment
So teams can train, compete, and grow with excellence.
■ Scholarship Support
So financial barriers do not keep a young person from participating.
■ Growth & New Locations
So we can reach more youth across Moldova, Ukraine, and beyond.
Give to a Cause
____
Choose what your gift supports. These gifts go into our shared ministry pool and are directed by the board to keep every location strong. Monthly giving is the default — it is what keeps coaches on the court all year.
$100 / mo · $1,200 / yr
For about $100 a month, you walk with one young player for a full year of training, mentorship, and discipleship. You are not funding a program — you are walking with a child: their growth on the court, and their character off it. Families cover part of the cost; partners like you provide the rest.
$1,500 / mo · $18,000 / yr
Back a whole team of ~15 players for a season — the coaching, the gym space, the discipleship, and the moments that shape a group of young people into brothers and leaders. A team sponsorship is a lasting mark on a dozen lives at once, and includes an intern leader.
Support Our Staff
____
Our coaches and directors give their lives to these young people — day after day, on the court and in their homes. When you support a staff member, you walk personally with the person behind the ministry. Choose someone whose story is on your heart, and stand with them.
Why Now?
____
The model is working. The trust has been built.
The demand is there.
Now is the time to grow — and we can't do it alone.

Years — a proven model
Admirals is serving more than 300 youth, but the need is greater than our current capacity. What we need now is the capacity to reach more — more coaches, more gym access, more team sponsorships, more young leaders equipped to serve. Your gift helps us expand responsibly while keeping the depth of mentorship that makes Admirals work.
Projects & Events
____
Time-limited campaigns and events. Each is shown only while its campaign is active, and each button is its own Fund — in letters we link straight to the right card.
■ Trip to the UK
Each year our young leaders travel to England to serve, train, and grow alongside our partners at Christians in Sport. It stretches them, builds them, and sends them home as stronger leaders. Your gift helps cover the flights.
