Testimonials

My son participated in the ABA program for many years. Coach Loucks was a great mentor whose coaching and teaching manner inspired and motivated Alex to mature and gain confidence on and off the basketball court. Thank you for providing a fun, safe yet challenging environment for kids to be themselves.
Ana Antunes, ABA Parent

The ABA has given our son, Hartford, an opportunity to play the game he loves in an organized and competitive environment. However, the competition is rooted in fairness, sportsmanship and learning sound basketball skills. We always look forward to ABA!
Moe Berg, ABA Parent

We have been part of the ABA family for over 10 years with both our daughter and son. What began with Saturday morning programs expanded to include summer camps, 3x3 leagues, high school workouts and culminated in our son playing rep for the Knights! All of the programs are very well-run and the coaching staff is amazing! Their enthusiasm and knowledge of basketball inspires the kids to improve their skills and compete while respecting the game and all participants.
Jeff W & Joanne D, ABA Parents

The opportunities that I have been able to be a part of because of Coach Loucks and ABA are actually beyond words. I cant thank them enough for bringing me in and making me feel like family. Through the program and the people involved I grew not only as a basketball player but also as a man, looking forward to the continued work and the bright future that they provide at ABA. #gamecocksforlife
David McCormack

The ABA is a terrific basketball program, teaching kids the fundamentals of basketball and making it a fun experience for all. But what I admire most about the program is that the coaches are some of the best leaders I've ever come across, emphasizing that the best players are also the best teammates and the best humans. The lessons my kid will take away extend far beyond basketball.
Stephanie Hodnett, mother of Owen Hodnett

Our girls joined ABA when they were 8, and have been playing in various combinations of the Tues, Thurs, and Sat programs and several summer and March break camps for the last 7 years. They’ve loved every second of it - the perfect blend of fun, skills development, and healthy competition. The coaches are high-energy, knowledgeable, attentive, and inclusive. We looked into girls-only programs, but just never came across anything with the same sensibility and structure as ABA.
Matt Shoom-Kirsch, ABA Parent

Your child will learn more than basketball skills. Coach Loucks’ leadership builds discipline, self-respect and commitment to a team, all qualities that serve both on and beyond the court.
Kathy Peel, ABA Parent and Supporter

As one of the original members of the ABA league, watching the league grow over the years has been a true joy. Saturday mornings at the gym were always a mainstay for myself and my siblings. We learned so much about the game, as well as many life lessons that can be applied off the court.
Cam MacNicol, ABA Alumni

ABA should actually stand for “Awesome Basketball Always”! The coaching staff, lead by Sean is fantastic. They are skilled, encouraging and know how to balance some healthy competition with the right amount of fun. Athletes of all levels are challenged appropriately and learn that trying their best is what matters. ABA is a wonderful environment all round.
Lhara Eben, ABA Parent

ABA taught my daughter more than just excellent basketball skills - they taught her sportsmanship and gave her a community. Every member of the ABA organization from top to bottom is an excellent role model. These are the people you want teaching your kids.
