Since 1990, it has long been recognized for its success and leadership in the field of youth development.

The purpose of the program is to encourage excellence in sports as a way of encouraging and advancing excellence in academics, developing constructive personal goals, achieving sound moral standards and providing an extended family to assist young people in becoming valuable contributors of their community.

Based in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the NY ROCKITS AIA attracts players from ages 10 and up from all five boroughs of New York, and the suburbs of New Jersey. The strength of our organization is not in its basketball but in the quality of character developed within each player. The success of our program is evident in the number of alumni who have gone on to academic as well as athletic success in college. Graduates have attended prestigious universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Wharton School of Business, Columbia, Cooper Union, and NYU, just to name a few. The organization promotes a standard of living - through hard work and example. Players have gone on to become Doctors, Investment Bankers, Lawyers, Engineers, Business Owners, and NBA Sports Agents. These past players have set a standard for our future players to shoot for.

The New York Rockits Athletes In Action is a registered 501© 3 not-for-profit corporation. comprised of a highly committed, diverse group of professionals, who are dedicated to developing children and teenagers through hard work and determination.

Through a series fund raising basketball events each year, money is raised in hopes of earning enough to pay for such necessities as practice facilities, tournament/league entry fees, travel expenses, and uniforms for our numerous teams. Contributions such as monetary, travel miles, and reward points are always welcome. No gift is too small, and any help is much appreciated. Your support will allow our organization the opportunity expand our programs to additional youths. Financial contributions should be made payable to the New York Rockits Athletes In Action.
