Our Mission

Building Leaders Through Faith and Basketball

Play4Him Academy was founded in 2016 by Jeramie Hinote.  It is a faith based basketball program that instill leadership skills. We push three core values as our compass to what we do. Those being Respect, Humbleness, and Faithfulness.  We have many ways to reach kids including individual training, camps, and teams.

Play4Him wants to reach youth through  sports. We want to give them an opportunity to learn life skills in an environment that pushes, loves, and teaches them about playing for the Glory of God. Understanding that without God they are nothing, but with Him, they can be and do ANYTHING
