Wiz Kids Basketball
The Wiz Kids “Books B4 Basketball” program has over twenty years of history implementing a wide range of program activities and services, serving over 4,000 youth and adults throughout New York City. The program was founded by Clarence “Mugsy” Leggett following a successful collegiate career and time spent traveling the world with the Harlem Globetrotters and the Harlem Wizards. Most recently, Mr. Leggett was named New York Knicks Coach of the Year for his outstanding youth basketball work.
Mr. Leggett founded Wiz Kids with the mission to make a positive impact on the children of New York City. Starting as a basketball recreation program in the Bronx with only volunteers, including family members, in 2001, the program settled in the Northeast section of the Bronx with a full staff. Wiz Kids currently has a strong community presence in the Bronx & Manhattan operating program activities and services that support vulnerable youth, families, and communities.
