ABOUT RISE

TOGETHER WE RISE

RISE Sports Academy is a nonprofit sports and fitness organization dedicated to the mental and physical health of our members. Our vision is to create a future of responsible and healthy individuals by building confidence and self-worth through sports and enrichment programs.

Our elite girls and boys youth basketball club based in Los Angeles provides hands-on training in a challenging and fun environment and focus on player development, strength and conditioning, and the fundamentals necessary to play at the next level.

The RISE program is led by former D-1 and professional basketball player Chris Rodgers. His passion for basketball is reflected through his coaching style and enthusiasm to educate youth. With 15+ years coaching and 20+ years playing experience, along with one national German championship coaching, Coach Chris has put together a program and staff that provides personal instruction, motivation, and detailed development for each player.
