YKG was created in 2014 by Kendall Davis and Xavier Newson with a shared vision of turning our love for basketball, hard work and personal growth into something bigger than ourselves. Today, YKG continues to grow both locally and globally. The YKG camps, trainings, coaching and mentorship impact young athletes and helps them develop on and off the court. Xavier continues to represent YKG around the world while playing professional basketball overseas at a high level, showing young athletes where dedication, perseverance, and belief in yourself can take you. 

​

YKG is more than basketball, It's a lifestyle.

Our Mission

YKG's mission is bigger than basketball. We use the game to build confidence, discipline, character and a relentless work ethic while inspiring young athletes to become the best version of themselves on and off the court.

Young Queens Grinding 

As YKG continues to grow, it was important to me that the girls were never left behind. Young female athletes deserve the same opportunities to develop their game and be recognized for their hard work. 

I wanted the girls to have something they could call their own while still being apart of the YKG Family! Empowering the next generation of Queens!
