A  professional sports team is only as strong as its supporters.  Our mission is to create a special relationship built on the foundation of mutual respect between the Salem Capitals organization and the Salem community.

• As basketball players, our main focus on the basketball court is to play as hard as we can.
• Our main objective off of the basketball court is to immerse ourselves in the community. We will strive to be a positive influence for our city’s youth, as well as contributing members of our community.
• We want to make a difference where we can.

We are a brand, and through this brand we want to represent the city with the highest class possible. We want to establish a culture. We want people to hear the Salem Capitals name and associate that with respect, community, and entertainment.

The guys on the court may be a team, but that team is nothing without the support of our community. The community will be the foundation of this team, and nothing is worth building if you don’t have a strong foundation.
