Athletics

A part of the DC STORM philosophy is that team sports do not build character, it reveals it.  As a result we try our best to reward players who make good grades, work hard, and show a commitment to their community.  Read some of our athletic activities featured below.

Club Basketball

In order to keep skills sharp and provide our members with a fun summer weekend activity DC STORM provides club basketball all summer long. Our members have also received some of the best personal training from some of the best high school and college coaches in the area at no cost. DC STORM has competed and done very well against the best AAU Programs in the DMV and on the east coast. Previous trips include games throughout the DC, Maryland, and Virginia areas. DC STORM basketball has also visited the Virginia Beach area and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

SpeciaL GUests

It is important that youth meet role models who can connect to their experience.  We provide examples of how successful members of the athletic and business communities have overcome difficulties and their adversaries.  Notable people that the DC STORM youth have met include Darrel Young and Josh Norman formerly of the Washington Redskins, College basketball Coach Ed Meyers, and highly world ranked tennis player Nick Kyrgios (see pictured left with DC STORM members).

Sporting Events

At DC STORM we find that an excited youth is a motivated youth. Our members have attended games of the Washington Commanders and Washington Nationals as well as visits to tennis tournaments and have done some kayaking on the Anacostia River. The group has also attended college basketball games at Georgetown University, George Washington University, Maryland University, American University and Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.
