Youth playing baseball

Who We Are

A dedicated group of local volunteers (over 35 people and growing) with deep community involvement who share a passion for the game of basketball and who care deeply about the growth and development of our youth.  We have decades of experience working with Boca Hoops (as division reps, coaches and referees), and many have also coached at the high school and college level.  And we are nostalgic Boca Hoops alumni--motivated to provide our children and community the same memorable experience that Boca Hoops gave us!
