Who We Are

Community Basketball With a Longstanding Tradition

Founded in 1969 in Levelland, we are a nonprofit organization built around community-based youth basketball leagues. We welcome players of all skill levels and give local leagues a pathway from their own courts to regional and national competition.

Why Community Leagues Matter

A League Can Shape More Than the Game

Community basketball gives young players a place to develop while creating experiences that extend beyond the final score.

Build Life Skills

Through basketball, young people practice responsibility, teamwork, and sportsmanship while learning what it means to contribute to a team.

Tournament Structure

From Local Seasons to Championship Competition

We give registered community leagues a clear competition pathway after their local season, with regional opportunities leading toward national tournament play.
