Welcome to WINS For Life, home on the web!
WINS For Life was founded with you in mind. Our mission statement is 
"to assist as many people as possible, in as many ways as possible”. 
This is achieved via hosting a variety of educational services and motivational events for children, adults, individuals, groups and teams.
Our primary focus areas are within the realm of athletics, schools, recreation programs and human services. We also specialize in all aspects related to the sport of basketball. Our experienced and dedicated staff provide professionalism, quality of work, high-level leadership, life skills, personal empowerment and fun in everything we do. Please get familiar with "WINS" by exploring our web site. There is much to share with you. Thank you for taking time to learn more about us. We hope to see you soon. For now, Best Wishes to you and all that you value.   - David Vasquenza

WINS For Life & the Basketball Hall of Fame
WINS has hosted over 30 clinics at the Hall of Fame
"The Basketball Hall of Fame has hosted and conducted countless clinics and David Vasquenza and the WINS For Life staff have been second to none. They truly embody not only the fundamentals of basketball, but overall life skills. They have a passion for educating the importance of healthy choices, positive decision making, and an overall sense of self worth. You will learn far more than basketball fundamentals when you participate in a WINS For Life clinic. Their ability to motivate and encourage is something that can only come with passion. I assure you, the WINS For Life staff has that passion. You are truly missing out if you have not experienced all that WINS For Life has to offer!" 
- Jason Fiddler, V.P. Marketing & Operations, Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame

WINS clinics featured at the Basketball Hall of Fame!

"Dave Vasquenza and WINS For Life have been an integral part of our summer programming at The Basketball Hall of Fame for many years.  Dave conducts multiple clinics over the course of the summer and during school vacation weeks. These clinics focus on basketball skills and more importantly life skills. He conducts them in an upbeat positive manner that thoroughly engages the youth that are participating. I strongly recommend Dave as an extremely caring, knowledgeable and professional instructor".  Stephen Delnickas, Director Museum Operations, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
