ABOUT US

Founded in 2016, Up Next Athletics is a family-focused AAU basketball program dedicated to providing opportunities for athletes of all levels. Our mission is simple: create a space where players can develop their skills, top athletes can gain exposure, and every participant walks away with something valuable.

We pride ourselves on delivering amazing experiences for our players, coaches, families, and supporters—while maintaining a high level of competition and keeping programs affordable. Beyond basketball, Up Next Athletics is committed to mentoring and volunteering initiatives that guide youth toward successful futures.

At Up Next Athletics, we believe that youth are the future. Through athletics, mentoring, and community support, we aim to develop not just talented athletes, but high-character individuals ready to thrive on and off the court.

OUR MISSION

At Up Next Athletics, our mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and competitive environment where youth athletes of all levels can grow.

Through basketball, mentoring, and community engagement, we aim to empower our youth to reach their full potential—both as athletes and as individuals.

OUR APPROACH

We take a family-focused, holistic approach to youth athletics. Our programs emphasize fundamentals, skill development, and high-level competition while keeping participation affordable and accessible. We prioritize growth for every player: top athletes gain exposure and advanced training, while every participant leaves with valuable knowledge, confidence, and life lessons. By combining athletics, mentoring, and community involvement, we nurture high-character individuals who thrive on and off the court.
