Chatham-Kent's Basketball Community
Three ways Chatham Kings shows up for kids who love the game.
A Place to Play
Camps when school's out, with community open gyms and an after-school program on the way — somewhere to be on the court with other kids who love the game.
A Way to Get Better
Private and small-group training built around your player's goals: shooting, ball handling, finishing, footwork and confidence.
Something Bigger to Believe In
Scholarship spots, mentors and a growing basketball community — building the culture that could one day support professional basketball here.

Why Chatham Kings exists
Nick grew up going to a program called 3rd Level. It ran on the third floor of a church, after school, and it wasn't a basketball program at all — it was a room. Kids did chores, hung out, and there was always someone there who knew their names.
That’s the idea underneath everything here: somewhere to go, and an adult who knows your name.

We hold scholarship spots so what a family earns never decides whether their kid gets to play. Local businesses can put more kids in the gym — concrete things, not packages.

Something Bigger to Believe In
Our long-term vision is to build enough participation, community support, fan interest and basketball culture to bring professional basketball to Chatham-Kent.
The dreamChatham-Kent already has good basketball. The Chatham-Kent Wildcats, the school teams, and the other programs in this community have put a lot of kids into this game, and we want to see all of them do well. If your kid's next step is one of their teams, that's a win — we'll help them get ready for it. This is about growing the sport here and getting more kids playing, not competing over the ones already on a roster.
Build the Player. Build the Person.
Real basketball, coached with Christian values and open to every family.
