Excel Both On & Off The Court
4 Quarters Basketball and Life Skills Camp is a movement to help shift the minds of our young men and instill core values such as leadership, respect and perseverance.
For six years, 4 Quarters has provided over 700 youth the opportunity for mentorship and exposure to career opportunities in the Durham community through sports. We believe that participation in basketball provides opportunities to build self-confidence, work ethic, and teamwork principles.

We educate and expose student-athletes to career opportunities inside and outside the world of sports, such as Sports Physicians, Public Servants, STEM related fields, etc. We discuss life after basketball and bring in Engineers, HR Professionals, and Motivational Speakers on staff to share their career endeavors. There is also a focus on financial literacy and ensuring financial security
