Rockets Sport and Education Foundation – The Charity, The Community, The Club.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our Foundation. The RSEF is close to all of our hearts and serves an incredibly important element of our community — youth sport. In a continually challenging environment, youth sport is our way of keeping faith and contact for the future for many young people.
Since the Rockets basketball club formed in 1997 the family mission was to create something across the community that had life-changing opportunities for anyone and everyone. To create change in young people’s lives really does take an entire village — financial stability, preparation for a brighter future, opportunities for accessible and sustainable activities, and a life-long commitment to just ‘being there’.
The RSEF was created to help find a vehicle where sport and activity can help form an enjoyable habit that will be a comfortable partner for every young person, allowing them to socialise with others and create healthy bonds for a longer period of time.
From small beginnings, the RSEF (Charity) has now taken responsibility for many of the community outreach projects (Community), has claimed responsibility for fund raising for the outlet for more able players (Club), and has created a pathway that aims to never say no to any young person wanting to be involved in a sport with such wonderful global role models.
We are incredibly proud of how embedded the Foundation has become around the entire culture of the sport in our area, and even more excited about the future potential of a well-resourced and well-managed charity.
