Why LTD?
For over two decades, Livin’ the Dream has utilized the game of basketball to make a lasting impact on thousands of athletes, coaches, referees, and fans. With a rich history of hosting camps and facing off against professional teams in seven countries, our players have benefited from rare opportunities for global development and exposure. Many have advanced to play at collegiate and professional levels, a testament to the strength of our training programs.
Across the U.S. and internationally, LTD has built a reputation for developing competitive youth teams and organizing premier leagues that highlight athletic skill and sportsmanship. Yet, our purpose reaches beyond wins and stats. We view basketball as a powerful tool to build bridges, nurture character, and inspire individuals to pursue the unique purpose God has placed in their lives.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that every person carries a dream instilled by God. Through the structure and spirit of the game, we help individuals unlock that potential and embrace their calling. We are committed to guiding our athletes to not only achieve success on the court but also grow in faith and integrity. We believe that encountering Jesus transforms lives, bringing clarity, purpose, and the courage to pursue the dreams they were created to fulfill.
