FIND YOUR FIT

At Livin’ the Dream, we believe every athlete in Kansas City should have the chance to reach their potential on and off the court. Too many players struggle with confidence or lack the right coaching. That’s why we offer programs for every stage — from your first dribble to elite competition. Our approach develops not just skills, but teamwork, character, and confidence that lasts a lifetime.

THE LTD DIFFERENCE

Thousands of youth and adult players, coaches, officials, and fans have been impacted by Livin the Dream programs, camps, and international experiences. From competing against professional teams in seven countries to building top youth leagues here at home, LTD has consistently delivered excellence in basketball development.

But what truly sets us apart is what happens after our players leave the court. Many LTD athletes have gone on to play at the next level—this year alone, five of our players earned opportunities to play college basketball. Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with college coaches who know our reputation: LTD produces players who bring more than skills. They bring mental toughness, character, and integrity—qualities coaches are looking for at the next level.

Our alumni are proof that this works. Many return after their college or professional careers to coach with LTD, pouring back into the next generation. That cycle of mentorship shows the strength of the foundation we’ve built.

We don’t do flashy showcases where players get lost in the hype. Instead, we provide personal connections, honest guidance, and a pathway for real growth. Our quarter-century of experience and our foundation in faith make LTD different from programs that only focus on wins or exposure. We believe every athlete has a God-given dream, and through basketball, we help them discover their potential—both in the game and in life.
