ABOUT OFF THE BENCH
Off The bench is a youth basketball and development organization based in Kampala, Uganda. We use basketball as a platform to develop skilled athletes, confident leaders and young people of strong character.
OUR STORY
Off The Bench began with a simple belief: young people deserve more than a place to play.
What started as a basketball program has grown into a youth development organization committed to building skilled athletes, confident leaders and young people of strong character.
Through basketball, mentorship and community, we create opportunities for young people to discover their potential and thrive on and off the court.

To develop the total athlete - physically, mentally and spiritually - through basketball, mentorship and community, equipping young people to perform, lead and thrive on and off the court.
OUR VISION
To build a generation of total athletes who are physically prepared, mentally resilient and spiritually grounded - using their talent, leadership and character to thrive and positively impact their communities
