Basketball Program

​​

​Since its inception under the leadership of Victor “Vic” Crespo, the LPAC Knights have become a cornerstone of youth basketball in the Bronx. Founded within the Latino Pastoral Action Center (LPAC), the Knights serve players aged roughly 5-18, offering not just competition but intensive skill development, mentorship, and community.

Over the years, the Knights have built a reputation of producing talent that reaches beyond local courts — former players have gone on to pro contracts, collegiate success, and significant personal growth. Under Vic Crespo’s direction, the program emphasizes not only athleticism but character: respect, resilience, sportsmanship. (The Cauldron)

​

Today, the LPAC Knights are part of Greater Heights — connecting them with broader networks, resources, and competitive opportunities, while staying grounded in the Bronx’s community values.

Testimonials

The LPAC Knights are more than just a basketball program — they are a lifeline for our community. Under the vision of Coach Vic Crespo, the Knights have created a safe and inspiring space where young athletes can grow not only as players but as leaders. For over two decades, this program has been shaping futures, giving kids in the Bronx the tools to succeed both on and off the court.

​

Through mentorship, discipline, and teamwork, the Knights have built a legacy of excellence. Families see the difference every day — children gain confidence, learn responsibility, and discover the power of hard work. Now, as part of Greater Heights, the LPAC Knights are expanding their reach, providing even more opportunities for youth to compete at higher levels, earn college scholarships, and dream bigger than ever before.

​

We are proud to witness the transformation the Knights bring to our community and grateful for the hope and possibility they inspire in every player."*
