There have been basketball leagues in the past that are focused on getting young people off the streets, especially in the summer. A new league started this year is doing that, but also teaching the players some life skills. Brandon cruz goes beyond the game. With the squeaks of the shoes and the dribbling of basketballs, this week this summer. But on a 4th day, the sounds are much different as the same teens who are playing hoops are taking part in what they call training camp. Theyre learning real world coping skills and financial responsibility at m atc. Were using sports as a tool to bring them in and incubate them with urban Business Leaders and urban business role models so that nigel harvey came up with the idea known as the cream skills basketball association. Created out of tragedy, this is a free event for milwaukee teens between the ages of 14 and 17. It was initially influenced by my best friend being murdered, in 2008 he was murdered back in pittsburgh thats where im initially from and it kind of shook my heart. I was deeply hurt by that and it happened right after he was playing basketba that has stayed with harvey, leading him to earn a degree in Human Services and dedicating himself to working in the community with young people. So what i did was to put a little spin on the league. I made it a professional style league, where as the staff, where owners of each team, we had a draft, we had a lottery and the youth they were very excited. 10 teams make up the league and each one is owned by an urban milwaukee business. The players they get to interact with the business and they get to see them all the time, they mentor them basically, theyre surrounded by mentors all the time. Through this constant interaction, the mentors promote entrepreneurship, which harvey sees an having a direct effect on the teens view of their own community. We are really pushing that so the youth understands that when we have more entrepreneurs and more Business Owners we have less crime in the inner city. It all begins with what happens on the court for 16 year old jose pretty intense actually, its not real easy, its real competition. And it transfers to what can happen off the court as well for him and another 16 year old, jawun leonguerrero. A couple weeks ago i learned how to manage my money more, one thing they have is pay yourself first which is like taking care putting away like 20 dollars to yourself or Something Like that. And if you have bills taking care of that and just try to set your money more. We talk about how black lives matter and how us, as young men should be exposed to more educational things. As the kids continue to add to their skill set, harvey is hoping to see the program also improve. We had a few business reach out to us right after our season already started so i had to unfortunately turn them away. But we definitely look forward to next season because we plan to expand and get larger and to reach out and to one day make this a model and we can go to another city.

During our broadcast last weekwe showed you images of a city in turmoil. But since then, Community Leaders say they see hope. Fox 6s ashley sears is in the studiowith the work to move forward. Say they see hope. A chance to build a stronger milwaukee. Nats one week ago a city saw chaos buildings and cars set on fire businesses, looted. 47 03 i just couldnt believe it Quinlan Bishop watched the sherman park neighborhood in the middle mayhem. 46 39 once i got down here, it was really just, i felt bad for what i saw. In a video that has now gone viral. 00 55 this will not get anything done. Period. Now one week later 48 53 ive gotten messages from all across the country. He has optimism. 49 04 a lot of people said their hearts and minds have been healed. From the ashespeople have come together nats cleaning up the destruction nats preaching peace nats a city ready to take on its challenges 49 57 i think people have a willingness to come to th talk about what needs to be done, discuss Real Solutions and get down to the root causes. Bishop says these images do not define milwaukee insteadthey are an inspiration 51 11 it cant just be a reminder of what happened and what used to be, it should be a trigger for ok, what happens next. Several business are being demolished because of the damage. Criminal investigations continue for the arsons and looting. Jenna
