The increasing popularity of basketball in mainstream media has significantly impacted our organizations dedicated to youth development in the sport. The rising costs associated with hotels, baggage fees, uniform manufacturing, flights, facility rentals, staff, and equipment have been passed down to us. While we're making great efforts to offset these expenses through community events and fundraising, we still rely heavily on parental contributions to support the success of our athletes.

What makes us different is our deep commitment to youth development and our extensive experience in organized travel basketball.
