The NBA is a global sports and media business built around three professional sports leagues: the National Basketball Association, the Women's National Basketball Association, and the NBA Development League. The league has established a major international presence with games and programming in 215 countries and territories in 47 languages and NBA merchandise for sale in more than 125,000 stores in 100 countries on 6 continents. NBA rosters at the start of the 2013-14 season featured a record 92 international players from 39 countries and territories. NBA Digital's assets include NBA TV, which is available in 60 million U.S. homes, and NBA.com, which averages more than 42 million page views per day, more than half of which originate from outside of North America. The NBA is the No. 1 professional sports league on social media, with more than 475 million likes and followers globally across all league, team, and player platforms. Through NBA Cares, the league and its teams and players have donated more than $225 million to charity, completed more than 2.6 million hours of hands-on community service, and created more than 830 places where kids and families can live, learn, or play.

At The Headfirst Companies, our mission is clear. We are here to develop and inspire the personal best in children, young adults, and each other. To achieve that mission, we continually cultivate a remarkable team of mission driven leaders who are powered by the knowledge that all campers and athletes come to us with unique gifts and high potential. From pre-school to high school, our camps unlock that potential by engaging participants wherever they are on their developmental journey through age-appropriate content centered on key social and emotional building blocks that we call The Headfirst Super SixTM. These critical skills promote lasting happiness and success by fostering optimism, resiliency, goal-setting, emotional mastery, self-efficacy, and grit, and the challenge of their practice is our journey. To put mission into practice, we operate three separate businesses: Headfirst Summer Camps, Headfirst Honor Roll Camps, and Headfirst Professional Sports Camps. Headfirst Summer Camps are award-winning Day, Sport, and Specialty camps in the Washington, D.C., Bethesda, and Northern Virginia metro areas for children ages 3 to 13. Headfirst Honor Roll Camps are two-day baseball and softball camps that take place annually in California, Florida, D.C., and New York, and connect high school student-athletes with coaches from the country’s top academic colleges and universities for the nation’s most unique scholastic baseball and softball showcase. Headfirst Professional Sports Camps are run in conjunction with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Washington Nationals, and Atlanta Braves in each team’s home market. A series of one-week camps are offered to boys and girls ages 5 to 13 and feature four days of first-class baseball instruction and a private tour of the team’s ballpark on the fifth day. Together, The Headfirst Companies’ programs hosted more than 12,000 unique campers in 2016.
