Asphalt Green Basketball
In 2024, Asphalt Green basketball nearly doubled its total number of coaches, expanded to two new locations, and added six new teams.
“The Asphalt Green Basketball Program is proud of our success, both on and off the court during this past year. From a competitive standpoint, the program yielded 4 league titles and 14 tournament championships. In the community, we were able to serve 300 young athletes at one of our satellite locations in Brooklyn through free basketball clinics and leagues. The 2023-2024 year saw Asphalt Green’s Basketball footprint grow from our singular home campus in Battery Park City, to multiple new gyms across the city (St. Lukes in the West Village & The Post- Brooklyn). I also wanted to thank our unbelievable coaching staff and dedicated program families. The continued growth of basketball at Asphalt Green would not be possible without you!” - Chris Cassels, Director of Basketball Operations.
Asphalt Green Soccer Club
In 2024, Asphalt Green Soccer Club ascended to become one of the top clubs in the region, with many athletes earning collegiate scholarships and places on professional academies.
“Together, Asphalt Green Soccer Club has made huge strides over the past year. Many of our AGSC teams are now competing in top leagues in the region and tournaments around the country. In addition, we are incredibly proud of our athletes, who have earned collegiate scholarships and spots in professional academies in New York and abroad, a testament to our coaches’ commitment to athletic development.” - AGSC Staff.
Asphalt Green Unfied Aquatics
2024 was one of the most successful years in AGUA’s remarkable history, with swimmers and coaches earning national recognition, teams winning championships, and alumni competing at the Olympics.
“This year, AGUA had an outstanding year of growth all around! We accomplished many program firsts, and would like to recognize the hard work, dedication, and commitment to our team values by our athletes, coaches, family members and community. These achievements could not have been accomplished without our full Asphalt Green support system.” - Diana Pimer, AGUA Coach.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Asphalt Green’s competitive teams have big plans to build off a historic 2024. From competing at national tournaments, sending athletes to collegiate, professional, and Olympic competitions, and growing the number of athletes we serve, you can count on Asphalt Green to strengthen its commitment to athletic and aquatic excellence in 2025.
- “As we look towards the future, the Asphalt Green Basketball Program is excited to continue our expansion efforts, bring free programming to communities of need, incorporate technology into our competitive program and serve as many young athletes as possible.” - Chris Cassels, Director of Basketball.
- “In the next year, we’re committed to improving athletic performance through our new technological investments in underwater cameras and swim bridges. In addition, we look forward to seeing them thrive in the classroom, as leaders at Asphalt Green and in their own communities, and as community members when they ultimately graduate from our program for life outside the pool.” - Diana Ross, Head AGUA Coach.
- “In 2025, we look forward to continuing our progress in player development to build the best academy in the region." - AGSC Staff.
