GREAT GAIN
ATHLETICS
ASSOCIATION

A sports mentoring organization.

“The greater the dedication. The greater the sacrifice. The greater the gain.”

OUR MISSION

Great Gain Athletics Association Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit sports mentoring organization serving the Los Angeles area and surrounding communities. We seek to improve the lives and well being of youth and young adults through our sports mentoring programs, activities and events. Our purpose is to provide access to opportunities, resources and guidance for underrepresented young people who may have experienced socioeconomic disadvantages. Our vision is to cultivate a mentoring community through one of a kind experiences that give young people the best chances to succeed as athletes on the court and beyond the game.

THE MENTORING EFFECT

More than 70% of the young people we serve have been faced with socioeconomic disadvantages. To date, we hosted free clinics, provided mentorship and in-kind support to over 150 youth, young adults and families in Los Angeles & surrounding cities. In 2018, 50% of the young people we mentored in our Pro Club Experience program reached their goal of playing professional basketball internationally.

YOUNG ADULTS FACING AN OPPORTUNITY GAP WHO HAVE A MENTOR ARE

67% more likely to participate regularly in sports.

AT-RISK YOUNG ADULTS WITH MENTORS ARE

76% more likely to attend and graduate college

OUR WORK & IMPACT

Through mentoring programs, community initiatives, and special events, GGAA Inc. creates opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and build meaningful connections on and off the court.

REACH BACK. GUIDE FORWARD.

One in three young people reach adulthood without a mentor. Help us change that.

(The program) teaches the business side of basketball. I have a greater understanding of what kind of approach I need as I transition to be a pro.

This is my first experience ever being a part of something like this. To even be a part of something like this is humbling.

It’s organic. It’s something real and it makes me feel more confident about my career. I want (Coach) Mike to be my Agent!!!
