What we run

A place for every kid.

Whether it's a first dribble or a travel-team tryout, there's a spot here.

Rec Leagues

Fall and winter house leagues for ages 6–14. Everybody plays, every game — that's the rule, and it's non-negotiable.

Travel Teams

Competitive U12–U17 squads that represent Hermiston across the region. Tryouts each August, no cut for effort.

Never Priced Out

Scholarships and a gear closet mean cost is never the reason a kid sits out. Ask us — quietly, no forms at the door.

Team huddle during a timeout
Since 2008

Two dads. A rolling ball cart.

It started because two fathers couldn't find an affordable league for their kids, so they just made one. Forty kids, one borrowed gym, a lot of folding chairs.

Eighteen seasons later we serve 450 kids a year and the promise is exactly the same: everybody plays, nobody gets priced out, and the whole thing runs on neighbors who love this town.

From our families

This is our gym.

My daughter had never touched a basketball. Two seasons later she's the loudest kid on the bench cheering for everyone else. That's what this place does.

I coach because someone coached me here in 2011. It's how the town takes care of its own.

They found my son a pair of shoes and never once made it a thing. Small town, big hearts.
