Athletic Program

Athleticism, competition, and fitness are key components to the development of young men.

The Athletic Program is geared toward empowering youth in each of these areas. It combines the skill, fun, and competitiveness of basketball, with the dedication, care, and intentionality of mentors and program coordinators to create an experience where children have access to numerous opportunities, recreational activities, and mentorship.

In partnership with the Tulsa Dream Center, we provide a variety of sports opportunities, including basketball, soccer, and flag football, to youth and young adults in our community. These programs are designed to promote healthy, safe environments for all youth and young adults in both west and north Tulsa.

The 100 Black Men of Tulsa's young adult basketball league has been praised by the Deputy Chief of Police for its positive impact on reducing violent crimes during the summer months.

How It Works

Program participants have weekly grade and attitude assessments done every Friday; if the assessment proves satisfactory, the children are rewarded by being allowed to play in the program.

 

The process is simple, children are signed up, they begin to practice and play one game per week, at the end of an 8 game season they participate in a playoff. There are two different basketball programs that together accommodate elementary through high school-aged children and even one-year post-high school.

The elementary and middle school program takes place during the school year while highschool and beyond takes place during the summer months. 

 

Every year a mentoring curriculum is created by a BMOT mentor and serves as a key facilitator in ensuring that program participants receive the maximum benefits from the program. Currently, there is a nine-month mentoring program for the school year

Program Eligibility 

To participate in the program, children must attend a school where there is a BMOT mentor present. There are no location requirements outside of residing in the Tulsa area.
