Mission Ballers
Mission Ballers is a program for students in kindergarten through 5th grade that focuses on basketball skills, fitness, and character development. The program was established in 2017-2018 and aims to encourage an early interest in basketball, improve agility and fitness, and build self-confidence and teamwork. Students perform basketball skills and drills at two home basketball Varsity games, one Vipers game, and a UTRGV halftime game.
At Escobar/Rios Elementary, Mission Ballers is under the direction of Coach Ramiro Reyes Jr. and Coach Diana Salinas.
