NBA Math Hoops, presented by Comerica Bank, includes youth in grades 3rd-8th from Los Angeles Lakers community partners. The program, powered by Learn Fresh, leverages the game of basketball and the NBA/WNBA brands to build fundamental math and social-emotional skills through a physical and digital basketball-themed board game, a curriculum, and a community program experience. Youth learn and practice important math skills through innovative and impactful real-life scenarios.
After completing a 10-week curriculum, the Venice and LA Harbor Boys and Girls Club had the chance to participate in the Lakers Regional Math Hoops Tournament! Youth from both clubs battled through an elimination-style tournament on April 15th. Lakers Legend Robert Horry, Laker Girls, along with Lakers staff, joined in the fun, offering support and insights on the importance of sportsmanship throughout the game. The winners of this tournament will move on to the National Math Hoops Tournament this summer, where they will compete with youth from other NBA Teams community partners.
