Why Fathers?
Because fathers matter.
Their presence, their voice, and their example shape how children see themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.
When fathers are engaged, children are more confident, families are stronger, and communities thrive.
At FaBA, we empower fathers because when a father grows, everything around him grows.

Why Basketball?
Every great team is built on responsibility, discipline, awareness, defense, encouragement, and cooperation. So is every great family.
At FaBA, we use the structure of the game to help fathers practice these fundamentals—on the court and at home. As fathers grow in these values, their impact grows—creating stronger connections and lasting bonds with their children.

How FaBA Works
While children attend basketball practice, fathers meet nearby. A coach leads friendly conversations about fatherhood, based on the fundamentals of basketball.
The program includes six sessions. Meetings take place twice each month and last about one hour. They are informal, welcoming, and easy to join. Coffee and a light snack are provided.
FaBA fits into the existing practice schedule. Fathers do not need to find extra time. They simply stay, connect, and grow.
Built With Trusted Partners
FaBA is developed in partnership with respected basketball and social organizations. These partnerships help ensure the program is trusted, relevant, and effective in communities around the world. FaBA supports fathers in their ongoing journey of parenthood and helps them build stronger, more meaningful connections with their children.
