Hello, and welcome to the Ashwaubenon Basketball Association!

We are a community-based organization that strives to provide a quality basketball program for the male student-athletes who reside in or attend schools in the Village of Ashwaubenon. Our goal is to offer this unified, consistent youth basketball program for all interested each and every year. Our organization consists of a board of directors, parent coaches and coordinators and countless volunteers. It is with the efforts of so many that we are able to provide these experiences for our student-athletes.  

Our program teaches participants the value of a proper attitude, good sportsmanship, and respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials while improving both their individual and team basketball skills. We take great pride in developing student-athletes, and expect our players to be leaders in their schools and the greater Ashwaubenon Community. As these boys develop their skills, we are confident that we will graduate not only accomplished athletes but also great community members as well.

Our players are given the opportunity to learn the game of basketball through various camps, practices and games throughout the season. We offer two separate offerings for our players based on age. Our K-2 players are invited to participate in structured basketball camps where we stress the importance of basketball fundamentals and the love of the game. These boys focus on having fun and learning the basics of this great game. For grades three through eight, we offer the opportunity to play on a traveling tournament team. These boys will have regularly scheduled practices and games where they compete with other teams from neighboring schools and communities. It is through this journey that we develop our student-athletes and confidently graduate eighth grade classes each year to incoming freshman at the high school for the following season.

Our philosophy started and has remained quite simple: We teach the fundamentals of basketball, make it fun, and keep it fair.  We want to build great basketball players and in that process also build the complete student-athlete in the process.

I want to welcome any new ABA families this season; we are so excited to have you with us.  For the returning families, welcome back! We look forward to picking up where we left off and moving the program forward.

Thank you, GO JAGS!!

ABA President

As we begin this 2024-2025 Ashwaubenon Boys Basketball journey, I would like to start by sharing how exciting and grateful I am to be given this opportunity.  It is an absolute pleasure to be named the Head Varsity Coach and leader of such tremendous young men. 

With this being my first year in such a position, I hope to continue building a successful culture along with helping our young men find purpose both on and off the hardwood.  I take from the previous years being along side Coach Tomashek, the true definition of hard work, relentless effort and the importance of preparation.  All things I believe helped build a strong foundation over the many years.  I find great solace in having such committed support groups and would like to thank all of the students, parents, teachers, volunteers, the Ashwaubenon Basketball Association, School Administration and School Board. 

Please expect from this team a commitment in playing together and competing at a high level each night.  

GO JAGS!!!
