The Midnight Basketball League (MBL) is a non-profit, community based intervention program that gets young adults off the streets by offering them a constructive alternative to cruising during the late night, high crime hours between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.
In addition to supervised basketball, all participants must attend education, counseling, and mentoring workshops before each game.
The MBL program also gives the community an opportunity to get involved in the lives of young people by volunteering as mentors, coaches, tutors or MBL staff members.
