About Us

We are a Christian sports organization specializing in basketball introducing young athletes to Christ while developing their athletic skill set and strong core values as well as mentoring and guiding young people to a better and positive future. Bringing the inner-city & suburban kids together working towards one common goal “unity”. We strive to provide our teams with high-quality, experienced coaches. The LCA Elite girls and boys basketball program is operated by Otis Lanier, who has over 25 years of experience in basketball as a player, coaching, and running basketball programs on all levels. This program is open to boys and girls starting at age 5yrs old and up. The LCA Elite boys and girls basketball program forms teams that participate in select and showcase tournaments, gives clinics, and runs skill sessions and development programs to help the athlete aspire to the reach their maximum potential.

Athletic participation helps our players grow, learn, and enjoy themselves while they use and develop their personal, physical, and intellectual skills. LCA values the lessons that have long been taught by athletic participation: the pursuit of excellence through personal development and teamwork, ethical and responsible behavior on the court and off, adherence to the spirit of rules as well as to their letter, leadership and strength of character, and sportsmanship – respect for one’s opponents, acceptance of victory with humility, and acknowledgement of defeat with grace.  In teaching these lessons to its players, LCA instills habits which will lead players to better and healthier lives.  While winning is not an end in itself, we believe that the efforts by our young athletes to be their best will lead them to succeed throughout their lives.

Bringing inner-city and suburban young athletes together as one in a Christian environment to empower one another through Christ. The goal of LCA program is to develop and promote the ideals of responsibility, hard work, sportsmanship, teamwork and fellowship within a safe and positive environment. The individual growth of our community’s children is enhanced through the spirit of competition, discipline and fair play. These goals will be accomplished by providing structured programs designed to educate both participants and parents in all aspects of the sport. LCA is  committed to providing youth programs, that maintain the highest standards and guarantees a fun, positive experience for everyone involved.
