Who we are

We enrich Hudson County by celebrating basketball’s heritage and developing future athletes, leaders, and mentors. Through youth tournaments, free camps, and clinics, we promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and skill development for all.

Our Junior Official IAABO Program trains young adults in officiating and leadership, while basketball legends mentor and inspire the next generation. Scholarships further support academic and athletic growth, ensuring opportunity through the game.

By blending competition, education, mentorship, and service, we create a lasting impact on our community and the future of basketball.
