Creating Young Minds is a 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit organization located in Lake Dallas, Texas. CYM was created to help young men achieve success in life that otherwise would be unavailable to them. We focus on teaching, grooming, and developing young athletes into young men. The primary objective is to teach young men how to have a purpose in life, how to humble themselves, work hard, and have good character.
Our Vision: The young men living in our communities will gain a broader appreciation for self and others, education, and athletics through basketball, school, support and guidance.
Our Mission: We focus on teaching young men about the importance of education, hard work and being humble in all aspects of life.
Our Model: Creating Young Minds includes CYM Academy, CYM Undiscovered League and CYM UL Youth.
CYM Undiscovered League is a Professional Basketball League. The purpose of the CYM UL is to help former, current and aspiring professional basketball players compete at a high level in front of Scouts, Owners & General Managers and Sports Agencies to earn contracts to play professional basketball at the highest levels possible.
We are replicating the European model of training, developing and preparing young athletes into Professional Athletes with the combination of our CYM Academy, CYM UL Youth and the CYM Undiscovered League. The younger players from CYM Academy will have the opportunity to play along side Professional Basketball Players in our CYM Undiscovered League.
