Catch Spokane is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting youth development through basketball. Founded to provide a positive and inclusive environment for young athletes, it aims to empower them both on and off the court. By offering coaching and mentorship, Catch Spokane fosters teamwork, discipline, and respect among players. The organization provides a range of services, including skill development clinics, team training sessions, summer camps, and community outreach programs, all designed to enhance the physical, social, and emotional well-being of youth in the Spokane area. We believe everyone should be able to play regardless of socioeconomic status, which is why we provide scholarships for players in need.
