View Season →A New Chapter: Transitioning to a True Basketball Skill Academy
2027 will mark our final year as a travel basketball team.This milestone represents both an ending and an exciting new beginning for Hillsborough Basketball Academy.
Starting in 2028, we will transition to a true basketball skill academy, maintaining our nonprofit mission and goals of providing affordable training opportunities to children in the area. This evolution allows us to reach more young athletes and focus on what we do best: developing fundamental skills, building character, and fostering a love for the game.
Our new model will offer group and individual skills clinics, making high-quality basketball training accessible to families throughout Hillsborough, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Durham, Burlington, and surrounding communities. Individual skill work will begin in 2028, providing personalized attention to help each player reach their full potential.
While we're saying goodbye to travel basketball after the 2027 season, we're saying hello to a more flexible, accessible approach that aligns perfectly with our core mission: developing the next generation through basketball, regardless of their competitive goals or financial circumstances.
Our commitment to affordable, high-quality basketball training continues. The game changes, but our mission remains the same.
