Motivated. Loyalty. Determination.

A new season. A new legacy.

Let’s build it together.

WHERE HUSTLE MEETS HEART.

We’re excited to announce a new chapter in our journey — WH Alumni Youth Basketball is now a dedicated training camp experience focused solely on skill development, discipline, and growth for youth athletes.

While we’ve loved building community through league play, we’re now shifting our focus to what matters most: training the next generation of ballers. Our camps are designed for ages 7–10 and 11–14, offering weekly sessions that build fundamentals, sharpen game IQ, and boost confidence — all in a fun, structured, and positive environment.

Whether your child is just starting out or looking to take their skills to the next level, our training camp provides expert coaching, mentorship, and motivation every step of the way.

AGE DIVISIONS

We welcome boys and girls in two competitive yet fun divisions based on age:

🏀 (Ages 7–10):

For young players ready to learn the basics of the game while building confidence and coordination.

🏀 (Ages 11–14):

Designed for middle school athletes looking to sharpen their skills, compete at a higher level, and grow as leaders.
