About Us

Vision and Mission

The mission statement of Crestwood Basketball is to promote, grow and elevate the sport through service and leadership. The Crestwood Basketball was founded on the values of fun, safety and development. All programs within the Mid-Maryland league operate with an emphasis on these core values. Crestwood Basketball sets out to encourage a culture of “basketball for life” where whether as players, coaches, officials or fans of the game people will be inspired to continue their participation in the game in some way throughout their whole life.

Mid-Maryland Crestwood Basketball is a non-profit volunteer-based organization, dedicated to providing the youth of our community with a quality program. We ensure to keep the welfare of its participants free of any adult ambition or personal glory and will promote the ideals of youth sports regardless of race, religion, gender, or national origin. We strive to teach each participant the fundamentals of basketball and cheer, as well as sportsmanship, teamwork, self-discipline, physical fitness, friendship, leadership, love of the game, good citizenship, and scholastic achievement.

Crestwood Basketball is a competitive program for middle school grades 6ththrough 8th for boys and girls. We have the full backing of Crestwood Middle, and both Tuscarora and Frederick High Schools in our pursuit of gym time for practices and games. Let’s work together to make Crestwood Basketball a success and a springboard to a future our community will be proud of!
