Project Rebound
A youth-led basketball initiative making the game accessible to every child — regardless of background or ability.
Sport, Without Sidelines
Project Rebound is a youth-led sports initiative founded by Kiaan Uppal in partnership with Help Each Other, aimed at making basketball accessible and inclusive for children from underserved communities and those with physical disabilities and learning differences. Through structured coaching, adapted training resources, and community-driven support, Project Rebound works to remove the barriers that prevent children from participating in sport and experiencing its benefits for confidence, health, and holistic development.
From weekly basketball sessions and stitching workshops for mothers, to adapted coaching guides, instructional video content, and the distribution of sports kits, every element of Project Rebound is designed to ensure that no child is left on the sidelines.
