Our Community
Join the Movement, Be More Than Basketball.
At DFTP Elite, basketball is just the beginning. We’re rooted in giving back, showing up, and building connections that go beyond the game. Our players grow as athletes and leaders — through mentorship, community service, and even post-game interviews that help them find their voice and build their personal brand. Whether it’s inspiring the next generation or representing our culture with pride, DFTP athletes are committed to leading on the court and in the world around them.
