Mission Statement The mission of the Kettering Basketball Club (KBC) is to provide the youth of Kettering and the Kettering School District the opportunity to learn and enjoy basketball at a competitive level. The Club has designed and will implement a program, which will develop skillful play, promote good sportsmanship, team spirit, and club loyalty. The KBC demands a high degree of ethical conduct by all its coaches, players, volunteers, and parents so that it provides a good example for the community, the opponents, and it's participants, thus helping the players in their growth to adulthood. It is the further mission of the KBC to cooperate with the current youth basketball programs operating in Kettering.   The organizations that the club is committed to trying to work with at this time include the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) program, the YMCA program, the Kettering Recreation Center program operated by the City of Kettering, Fairmont High School and the South Dayton Knights as well as all official junior high and high school teams. We specifically have created an alliance with The Kettering Recreation Complex and the Kettering City Schools to promote development of youth basketball from Kindergarten through High School.
