OUR BEGINNING

Shannon Lopez and Dorsi Smith founded the first non-profit basketball organization in Northern Colorado, Rocky Mountain Youth Sports (RMYS), in 2008.  Shannon and Dorsi saw a need to provide quality basketball programs to local youth that focused on athletic skill development and character development.  The original program design included a summer club program called "Rocky Mountain Fever" and a winter "Juniors" program designed to allow basketball players to play in a feeder program for their respective high schools.  Since 2008, RMYS has formed well over 120 teams competing locally, regionally, and nationally.  For over 15 years, some of the regions best players have chosen to play on Fever teams.  Dozens of Fever alumni have moved on to play college basketball at different levels including NCAA Division 1, Division 2,  Division 3, and NAIA.

OUR FUTURE

In 2016,  RMYS and Fever underwent changes to the leadership of our organization as well as improvements to our programs to better serve the basketball community in Northern Colorado, Southern Wyoming, and Western Nebraska.  The Fever Basketball Club implemented an aggressive plan to expand programs and form  the most competitive teams from Northern Colorado capable of competing with any program in the Rocky Mountain region.  Our objective is to work with area schools, coaches, and influencers in the basketball community  to offer high quality opportunities for young athletes to develop basketball skills  and learn life lessons.  We offer our parents useful tools including an improved website, team pages, mobile and email notifications, online calendars/scheduling and simplified online registration and tracking so you can see all of the programs you are registered for.  Our goal is to improve the overall experience and provide the value families seek when participating in youth sports.

Also in 2016, RMYS began promoting Rocky Mountain Fever as our main brand.  Our teams and all basketball programming will fall under the Fever name.    We believe that by organizing under the name Rocky Mountain Fever Basketball, we can improve awareness and build a stronger, more recognizable brand that attracts families looking for the best opportunities for their children.  The Fever name is already widely known throughout our region and continues to be well respected for organizing competitive teams and offering high quality programs.

OUR OBJECTIVE

Fever will continue to be the only non-profit basketball organization in the region, committed to developing every player to their highest potential and challenging athletes to compete at the highest level while honoring the game.  Supported by an active advisory group comprised of parents and key members of the basketball community in Northern Colorado, Fever will offer the best basketball experience possible for our members.
