The league is a partnership between ARCHS, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, St. Louis Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry and Fathers' Support Center. Over 240 men between the ages of 18-35 form 10 teams for an 11-week basketball league.

ARCHS was selected by the City of St. Louis to manage the partnership via a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

The participants are also required to take 10 life skills classes coordinated by Fathers' Support Center, which teach the young men about finances, building credit, nutrition, employment and housing.
