Christine Lemke ventured into youth basketball activities about 20 years ago, starting with a local Phoenix Arizona East Valley YMCA. As mother of six active boys, she was inspired to pursue organized sports for them. As her children advanced in their basketball skills, her involvement in the sports programming also grew. In 2009 to 2014, AZ Prestige Competitive Boys Basketball Inc. was established and directed under her leadership. Growth continued as Christine branched out with Site Direction for local Basketball Tournament organizations in Arizona such as: Just4Hoopin, Southwest Showcase, Phoenix is Rising, and Cinco De Mayo. In the years to follow, Christine had the honor of working with prestigious national companies such as: “Jam on It”, assisting founder Matt Williams, with AAU competitions in Vegas and Arizona. She has also collaborated with and assisted founders Rich and Kate McGuinness with the “Ladies Ball” Company, based out of Knoxville Tennessee. Currently, Christine holds the position of the AAU Boys Basketball Representative for Arizona, and is pleased to serve as your proprietor of the LAB facility in Chandler under the brand of ZONE-IN-Sports.
