Play for one of the region's largest clubs. 

Travel to play top teams (we will take two trips in July to play in exposure events)

A club that has won state championships and competes for national championships. 

A club that stresses FUNDAMENTALS, defense & team ball. 

We have travel teams for males and females
ages 13-17U (and local teams ages 9-18 & adults).

We have a zero tolerance for rude and unsportsmanship behavior from players and parents.  If you like to cause trouble, don't even try out with this club!!!!

Our club is a family where kids can come together in a wholesome environment to improve their basketball skills and make quality friends.

We play IYBC & AAU here in America, and other youth basketball organizations internationally.  We also might play in some USSSA, USBA or YBOA tournaments.
