ABOUT US
Our Story
Gorilla Basketball is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Lisbon, Maine, dedicated to expanding access to higher education through elite basketball development. Since its founding in 2012, Gorilla Basketball has helped more than 40 student-athletes earn college basketball scholarships, generating an estimated $8 million in scholarship funding—an average of $200,000 per athlete—that directly reduced financial barriers to college for families.
Founder
The organization was founded by Tyc Snow, Head Coach and Lead Trainer, a former NCAA Division I athlete at Mississippi Valley State University with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education. Coach Snow’s own path to higher education was made possible through an athletic scholarship—an opportunity that fundamentally shaped his future. Without that support, like many students from underserved backgrounds, college would not have been financially attainable. That experience now drives Gorilla Basketball’s commitment to turning athletic opportunity into educational access.
Our Mission
Gorilla Basketball exists to use basketball as a tool for youth development, discipline, and long-term success. Our mission goes beyond athletic performance—we focus on building confident, accountable young people through structured training, mentorship, and competitive experiences that foster personal growth both on and off the court.
Through an elite, year-round training and competition program, Gorilla Basketball provides athletes with high-level skill development, physical conditioning, and mental preparation. Competing nationally on the NXT Pro PUMA Circuit, our program exposes youth athletes to top-tier national competition and direct visibility with college coaches and elite recruiters. These high-level experiences prepare participants to perform under pressure, compete with confidence, and carry those skills into athletics, academics, and life beyond the court.
