Why Courts
Basketball courts in underserved communities are already gathering places. People show up. Relationships form. Trust is built over time — one run, one conversation, one game at a time.
GHN doesn't build new infrastructure. We restore what's already there — and we plant ambassadors in the middle of it. The court is the front door. The gospel walks through it.
The Process
GHN identifies courts in underserved communities — places where basketball is already happening and the gospel has room to go.
We resurface, add lighting, and install equipment. A restored court signals to the community: someone sees this place.
Ambassadors are deployed to the court. Relationships are built. The discipleship pathway begins — one conversation at a time.
Each restored court becomes a hub. Churches partner. Coaches get trained. The network grows from Raleigh outward.
The Triangle, NC — Phase One
East The Triangle, NC · Asphalt — Full Court
The first court in the GHN restoration pipeline. Located in an underserved neighborhood where basketball is already the language — GHN is restoring the surface, adding lighting, and planting a discipleship presence.
South The Triangle, NC · Asphalt — Half Court
A community park court identified for the next phase of restoration. Surface assessment complete. Funding and partnership outreach underway.
North The Triangle, NC · Concrete — Full Court
Third court in the Raleigh network. Identified through community referral. GHN is building relationships with local coaches and church partners before beginning restoration.
Get Involved
Court restoration costs between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on surface condition, lighting needs, and equipment. Every dollar given to GHN's Court Restoration fund goes directly to the work.
You can also get involved by referring a court in your city, connecting GHN with a local church partner, or becoming a GHN Ambassador on the court you help restore.
