Dakota Rise

A youth development program built on consistency and structure.

03/28/2026

Fun fact, Dakota Rise has a 13U group getting ready to take the road this summer.

Not a roster we rushed. Not a group we handed anything to.

That introduction will come when it’s time.

For now, just know this… those boys earned everything coming their way.

We had a strong day of basketball. John Harris survived another close one on the road, taking on the mighty Eagles at Susan B. Anthony. The gym was full of sweat, a few tears, and something better, young athletes asking to get in the game.
That’s the shift. Week one, they were hesitant. Now they’re stepping forward and calling for it.

If there were an award for school spirit, it belongs to SBA. No debate. The faculty and students have built something real, and you can feel it the second you walk in. We love it.

We appreciate everyone who’s part of this. Your trust and belief turn this from an idea into something that actually moves.

And to our middle school Dakota Rise athletes, Kellen and Mayom, we see you. You’re part of something big, and you make us proud.

Game week for Dakota Rise.

These teams have been in the gym, learning how to move right, listen, and work together. Now they get to step on the floor and show it. AGAIN!

Three games. Three gyms.
Same standard every time.

Play hard.
Be a good teammate.
Have fun.

Proud of these groups. ❤️🏀❤️🏀

We’re proud and thankful to sponsor the Sioux Falls YMCA 96th Annual Tri-State Tournament. A few of our boys will be competing this weekend as well. Big respect to Coach JuJu for everything.

What a week for Dakota Rise. All three games came down to the wire and every team battled. John Harris sits at 2-0, Hayward Hawks are 1-1, and the SBA Eagles are a tough and tested 0-2 after two nail-biters. Losing close games stings, but this is where we learn and grow together.

We’ve got four more weeks of practice ahead before we wrap up with another week of games. Expectations are clear now, and practices are about to level up. These teams are going to show up ready to work, and the next round of games is going to look even better. Thank you to refs Chris and Dave, as well as Coach Nick and Tay for their commitment to the cause. It takes a village!

A huge thank you to Sioux Falls YMCA for their generous contribution. Every athlete will receive a jersey for game week, and with two games on the schedule, they now get to look the part after all those hours in the gym. Sweat earned, pride stitched in. ❤️🏀

The YMCA is a long standing pillar in our community. All the way back to the three basketball gyms, the swimming pools and 4th floor running track. They invest in youth, believe in access, and back programs that build character when no one is watching. That kind of support is critical to us. Thank you.

Next week, our teams face off and the kids are SO excited!!! . Big thanks to everyone making this showdown possible. This is going to be fun. 🏀❤️🏀❤️

It was a blast at Hayward today. Agility and passing was the emphasis this afternoon. The lesson: If we don't step into our passes, they will not have the power needed. We ended with some KING OF THE COURT.

We love this!

John Harris is setting the bar high. They walk in with energy, purpose, and a positive mindset. On Tuesday, we drilled passing and cutting, sharpened agility, and tightened handles. Real work, real reps, real progress. Let’s go.

The Hurricanes can hoop! Let's go!
