“Tysen had a positive experience, improved significantly, and formed strong relationships with B.O.B. We appreciated the uplifting, positive and challenges, which helped Tysen win his first championship. We’re very eager to continue in the program.”
Amy Triggs
“Playing with B.O.B. Association helped my son to develop his basketball skills and confidence as a young player. The leaders lead with sternness, respect and knowledge of the sport. They are great role models for the boys both on and off the court. Gabe is more self-confident, assertive and responsible due to his participation with the program. Thanks B.O.B.”

“My experience with Books Over Basketball has been positive. Being there, unlocked the potential in me that I always knew I had. There’s still more work to do, but it was the boost I needed to continue to grow. There is still so much I need to internally overcome, but being apart of the BOB program is pushing me in the right direction.”
Barret Vidrine Jr.
“The power of inspiration can profoundly change lives. Embracing one’s true passions and interests can lead to self-discovery, confidence, and a sense of purpose. This journey can transform dreams into achievable goals, enriching one’s life and contributing to a more vibrant community. “Books Over Basketball” symbolizes the courage to pursue one’s true path, inspiring others to reflect on their aspirations. This transformative power can create a ripple effect, encouraging others to chase their dreams with confidence.”
