Scorpions' 13th Man Program

The Arizona Scorpions are committed to participating with Phoenix non-profits to make a difference in our communities.  One of our programs is called "The 13th Man".  For each home game we will have a religious leader sit on the bench and lead our team in a prayer before and after our games.  We will also offer special group rates to the respective congregation.  If you are interested in participating, please contact Greg Cheeks at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

ABA and Arizona Scorpions Bullies are Cowards program

The ABA has established the “Bullies are Cowards” program to give students the intervention skills necessary to confront bullying proactively through shared experiences.  The ABA goal is to present student awareness sessions to aid schools in conflict resolution and decrease bullying incidences.
