Our Story
Founded in 2019 by former Duke Basketball player Andre Buckner and a group of youth basketball program directors who wanted to create a community where nationally competitive youth basketball programs, players, and coaches could come together and share their love for the game in a competitive, but neutral environment that puts the focus back where it should be, on the kids.
