The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the YOUTH— Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.Proverbs 1: 1-7

Westside Hoops Maui Youth Basketball Program
Westside Hoops Maui is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, youth basketball organization. By the grace of God, we are truly blessed as a community based organization comprised of a team of dedicated volunteers along with the blessings of a group of independent Christian business people and community leaders that are dedicated to the development of the youth on Maui.
Westside Hoops Maui complies with all 501(c)(3) rules and regulations. As such, all donations to Westside Hoops Maui are tax exempt.
OUR STORY
Westside Hoops was born out of a father’s desire to help his son obtain the opportunity to play basketball while attaining a college education. It became clear that year around training and trips to the mainland to participate in intense fundamentals coaching was the only way to achieve this goal. What started as a journey between father and son in 2006, has become a program to help other basketball players, starting in sixth grade, achieve that same opportunity.
With strong community support, from both businesses and individuals, both on Maui and the mainland, Westside Hoops is able to provide student athletes with the tools they need to succeed both on and off the court. From weight training and ball handling drills, to tutoring and social media policing, student athletes are pushed to build physical strength and, more importantly strength of character. With the hard work and commitment from the student athletes, Westside Hoops can help them achieve their academic and basketball goals.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. – Proverbs 22:6
THE PROGRAM
Westside Hoops is committed to character building and life skill development through biblical teaching and fundamental basketball training for the youth on Maui. Westside Hoops creates environments for kids to be part of the Maui community while learning how to give back and pour into the next generation of youth.
MAHALO TO OUR SPONSORS!

FUNDRAISING EVENTS
2023 VIRTUAL CHARITY WALK
From August 30 to September 12 ~ Location: Your Town, U.S.A
The Visitor Industry Charity Walk is the largest fundraiser of the year on Maui for Westside Hoops, and many other charities in Hawaii. Unfortunately with Covid rapidly spreading, this year’s walk has been canceled, leaving many non-profits struggling to meet budgets. And with many of the hotels closed, many are unemployed and trying to figure out the next steps for our community.
We are hosting a VIRTUAL CHARITY WALK to raise funds for 2 ongoing scholarships for Carter and Reece. The difference this time is that these walks will take place in YOUR TOWN.
Please help sponsor Dan Williams as he walks to raise funds for these great young men. With your donation, you also will be pledging to walk your favorite 5K route in your town. Take videos, take pictures, recruit your friends and family, get outside for a workout, and help us continue to invest in the future of Maui and the next generation of leaders.
Thank you for your generosity, kindness and always support!
