For Harvey Harrington, founder of Dreamchasers Basketball Indy, it’s about more than just layups, cone drills, post-ups and jump shots. It’s about fostering dreams and development in young athletes, especially those in the Indianapolis community.
Harrington, the brother of former Indiana Pacers forward Al Harrington, isn’t just another coach. He’s a steadfast entrepreneur with a passion for empowering the next generation. What began as a casual training session blossomed into a respected and diverse youth basketball program.
Dreamchasers Basketball focuses on fundamentals. They take young athletes, from beginners to those with collegiate hoop dreams, and sharpen their skills in shooting, dribbling and defense.
However, Harrington’s vision extends beyond the court. He strives to instill life lessons in his students, developing a comprehensive program reminiscent of the fun and community he experienced in his adolescence.
This commitment is on display in their annual basketball camps. Currently, Harrington is hosting the Dreamchasers 6th Annual Basketball Camp at Mt. Vernon Middle School Fieldhouse in Fortville, IN. The camp takes place from July 15-18. The focus is on helping youth hoopers ages 6-15 develop skills on and off the court.
Additionally, Harrington is a part of the leadership team at H&H Fieldhouse North in Fishers, IN. H&H Fieldhouse North also focuses on providing the youth with a safe, accessible and welcoming environment to learn new skills.
Harrington’s dedication to his community is clear. He recognizes the significance of providing a safe space for young people to hone their talents and character. Dreamchasers Basketball isn’t just about winning games, it’s about nurturing well-rounded individuals with a love for the sport.
As Dreamchasers continues to grow, it serves as a shining example of how a local, minority-owned business can have a positive impact on the lives of Indianapolis youth.
