About Us

"The Kings organization has been like family to my son, he really needed that role model, mentorship, and encouragement. It means a lot, and is greatly appreciated. Thank You!"

The Kings Basketball Teams and Sports Performance Training Program was founded in 2008 to fill a critical gap in the Hudson Valley athletic system. We saw an untapped pool of talented student-athletes being overlooked by college scouts and realized many players weren’t receiving the guidance or playing time they needed to thrive. Our mission has always been to change that—to provide the tools, training, and opportunities for every athlete to reach their full potential.

At Kings Basketball, our main goal is to help student-athletes, regardless of their skill level, elevate their game. Whether it’s developing their basketball skills, showcasing their talent to college scouts, making their high school team after being cut, or earning more playing time—our program is built to support their journey.

We work closely with our players to set meaningful goals on the court and create a clear plan to help them achieve those goals successfully.

What sets the Kings Basketball Teams and Training Program apart is our comprehensive approach. Our athletes don’t just show up to play—they engage in rigorous skill development, physical fitness training, basketball IQ building, and practical application, all capped off with an intensive 'Hard Working' training camp

While some programs are all about stacking their teams with only the top players to chase wins, we do things differently. We welcome athletes of all skill levels who have the heart, the drive, and the hunger to get better. Our focus is on developing players—helping them sharpen their skills, grow their game, and take it to the next level, both on and off the court.

For some, the next level means making their high school or college team. For others, it’s about earning more playing time than last season or breaking into the starting lineup. And for those with big dreams, it could mean pursuing a career in pro or semi-pro basketball. Whatever a student-athlete’s goals and aspirations may be, we’re dedicated to helping them improve and gain the edge they need to shine at tryouts.

We firmly believe that when we instill confidence and guide players to become better, everyone wins—and winning becomes inevitable.

This philosophy has been at the core of the Kings Basketball Program throughout our 17 years of existence. In that time, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones: winning 21 AAU Tournament Championships, helping 20 players earn spots on college basketball teams, and supporting countless athletes who were previously cut or on the bench to make their teams and secure valuable minutes on the court.

These achievements reflect not just the success of our program but also the unwavering commitment we have to our players, both on and off the court.

At Kings Basketball, it all comes down to one thing: improvement—every practice, every game.

Welcome to the Kings Basketball Family!
