HOME OF THE #BUCKETHOOD

We are a unique travel basketball program featuring many of the region's most talented prep stars. Proudly headquartered in North-Central Ohio, we take tremendous pride in teaching kids the importance of competing at the highest level possible. With an unrivaled focus on growth and development, we equip players with the tools and coaching to be the best they can be, all while forming memorable friendships and experiences along the way.

The #Buckethood has become a special part of our program. Over the years a close circle of coaches, players, parents and family members sharing their love for basketball has formed. This group, inspired by the word "Brotherhood," holds a special meaning in our program today!
