ABOUT TEAM DEREK FISHER
Providing a stage with a purpose of developing young athletes

Our Mission
Five-time NBA champion and former Head Coach Derek Fisher’s passion for impacting the lives of young people motivated him to create a basketball camp and establish an AAU team four years ago. At Team Derek Fisher, we are dedicated to developing the basketball, leadership, and life skills of each athlete. Our Coaches and Staff are committed to elevating athletes to the next level both on and off the court.
The mission of the Derek Fisher Be Better Foundation, Inc. (DFBBF) and Team Derek Fisher is to provide opportunities for youth to thrive socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Through our literacy, health, fitness, and athletic programming, we help participants develop a lifelong passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom and the court. We encourage all participants to strive for scholastic excellence, embrace healthy living, build positive self-identity, develop strong character, and grow as leaders.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to support a variety of entities that focus on the development and advancement of our youth. We are committed to supporting safe, organized, and exciting opportunities and experiences for girls and boys of all ages and skill levels. Participants will not only be exposed to athletic fundamentals and principles, they will also receive valuable lessons on how to be successful contributors to society while focusing on their academic, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
