Mondays and Fridays 6:00 - 9:00pm

The Prodigal Sonz is a basketball team made up of at-risk youth and mentors. They play 12 games per year throughout Ontario. The Prodigal Sonz program is to help at-risk youth direct their energy to a positive team sport.
The goals of this program include:
-
Having fun
-
Winning games
-
Inspiring others to escape or avoid lives of poverty and crime
The team practices twice per week and engages in a competitive game once per month with various High School and Rep teams. All the practices and games lead up to the annual Liberty and Justice Unity Basketball Event which takes place in June.
There is no cost for eligible youth to be a part of Prodigal Sonz. All that is required is a need for commitment and a desire for a positive lifestyle.
The Prodigal Sonz is always looking for opportunities to play teams or for speaking engagements at schools.
If you would like them to speak at your school or event, please contact:

Positive interactions with others is the key to success in this program. Our Leadership Awareness component builds leadership qualities that, without intervention, could turn into negative pursuits. Transformation to positive outcomes is the goal of the Leadership Awareness Program with a focus on Esteem.
