LA Littles Prep is a non-profit basketball organization offering free clinics and mentorship to our youth. It was created to foster children's love for basketball and is made possible by sponsors and volunteers.
We, at L.A. Littles Prep all love the game of basketball and are in to give back by being coaches, mentors and big brothers and sisters. We strive to nurture the kids' love for basketball by teaching them the basics, while emphasizing the importance of teamwork, hard-work, leadership, and respect on and off the court.
Because basketball is so much more than just a game.
What a clinic looks like
- Fundamentals first — dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork
- Small groups with volunteer coaches and mentors
- Games, scrimmages, and end-of-session huddles
- Life lessons woven into every drill
The basics — and everything beyond them.
Every drill is a chance to build a skill and a habit. These four travel with our kids on and off the court.
Teamwork
The best play is the one that lifts a teammate. We pass first and celebrate together.
Hard Work
Effort is a skill. We show up, run the drill again, and get a little better every session.
Leadership
Every kid gets a chance to lead a huddle, set an example, and find their voice.
Respect
For coaches, teammates, opponents, and ourselves — on and off the court.
Real reps. Real smiles.

A message from our founder.
I started this organization because I love the game of basketball and how it has and continues to shape me as a person. As a little kid, basketball was the one thing I loved and it was a constant light growing up. I started at the local YMCA and the city parks, and later joined club teams. What made these experiences amazing were not only my teammates, but the coaches that taught us more than just the game. They instilled the importance of character, and supported us beyond the court. Seeing their impact on myself and so many others has inspired me to give back in the same way and to reach out to the community.Lex Lee
