Who We Are

At Waco Warriors Basketball, we are building more than competitive teams. We are building a community of coaches, athletes, families, and schools working together to develop the next generation of basketball players and leaders. Our commitment is to compete, develop, serve, and help every athlete reach their full potential—both as a Warrior and as a member of their school community. Whether an athlete is looking for an opportunity to play at the next level or just desires to get better at the level they are at, we have a plan to help them meet their goal. We offer boys & girls basketball from 2nd Grade through High School.

A key part of our mission is to partner with local middle school and high school coaches to help develop athletes and prepare them for success within their school programs. We believe club and school basketball should work together, not against each other. By communicating with and supporting school coaches, we can create greater consistency in player development and help athletes bring what they learn with the Warriors back to their school teams. This is why you will see many of our teams being coached by local high school and middle school coaches.

Program Overview

What To Expect

As a Warrior, you will not hear a coach or trainer ever talk about winning. Our goal is to develop the athlete one rep at a time, one possession at a time. We believe that if you do things the right way, the scoreboard will take care of itself.

Develop the Heart First, the Athlete Second

Your child will not only get trained as a basketball player but we strive to teach them values that will help them be successful in life! When an athlete participates in the Warriors program they are going to consistently hear about INTEGRITY, TOUGHNESS, SELFLESSNESS, ATTITUDE & EFFORT from each one of our coaches. They will come to understand that “It’s not about you; It’s about us!”

Quality & Proven Coaching

We have a ton of great coaches in the Central Texas area & that is who we pick to coach our teams. We strive to have each one of our teams to be led by a quality coach who has extensive coaching and playing background. Our coaches have been through the process before and know what it takes to develop the young athlete and to get the most out of each player. Many of our coaches are currently coaching or have recently coached at the college, high school or middle school level.

Practice, Practice & More Practice 

Something we hear all the time is, “Coach, our club promises practices but they are always getting cancelled. When we do have practice, the kids just scrimmage.” When you join the Warriors, the athlete will be getting at least 2 practices a week during the majority of the season. For the younger divisions, we will push that back to 1 practice a week toward the end of the season. Our practices are led by experienced coaches who will show up to each practice with a plan and will teach the game the right way. We will also have additional training opportunities available for the athletes if they would like.

Practices Are Not Optional

One of the top focuses for the Warriors program is helping the athlete become the best player they can be. The only way that can happen is by getting in the gym and putting that work in. When an athlete signs up to be a Warrior, the athlete is making a commitment. Not just a commitment to themself as a player but a commitment to their team. These are skills that they will carry into life after the ball stops bouncing.

Competitive Tournament Play

We believe that the only way you get better is by facing competition that is going to challenge you. When we sign up for tournaments, we are looking for the tournaments that are going to stretch us and at times, allow us to fail. The only path to true growth is by allowing opportunities of challenge and adversity. Each Warriors team will attend 5 (possibly 4 for our younger groups) tournaments in the local Texas area. We know other programs play more tournaments but we believe that true development is going to be found in the competitive practice time we will offer throughout the season. Also, we understand that “burn out” is real among youth sports & we don’t want our athletes to lose their love for the game.

Waco Warrior Fieldhouse

Most of our practices & workouts will take place at the BRAND NEW Waco Warrior Fieldhouse & Training Facility. The facility is going to consist of 5 courts, full weight room, and turfed training area.

Testimonials

Being part of Waco Warriors has been an incredible experience for our family! This organization surrounds itself with excellence by selecting coaches who put focus on character and teamwork development as much as improving skill in players. Our entire family feels like they are part of a close knit Warrior community that represents Waco well on and off the field.
-- Sonja S.
Waco Warriors is an organization that supports the development of players at all levels. They are a pleasure to coach for as everything I may need or my players may need will be taken care of. The values behind WW is a strong foundation that breeds success and wining the right way. My son loves the atmosphere that every team throughout the organization has and everyone is there to help him succeed with his teammates.
-- Paul W.
It was a great experience as both a coach and a parent to develop relationships with players and families that wanted to compete at a high level and to teach the kids not only about the game, but about life and my faith. It’s been fun to watch them grow up into young men outside the game and to watch some of them go on to compete at the college level.
-- Brad W.
Aileen has played for a couple different teams but Waco Warriors has been by far the most welcoming team we have ever encountered. She has made the comment that the coaches are hard on her but in a different way that she does not feel like she is getting in trouble when she makes a mistake. This is a group that ensures that the girls continue to improve their skills all while continuing to love the sport. Very family oriented.
-- Mother of participant
The Waco Warriors Foundation and the opportunities it has provided our daughter, and our family have been a true blessing. They give the structure for like-minded families to come together and develop a safe and faith-based environment for the players to grow with friends and advance their skill set. We are forever grateful.
-- Brandon D.
As a parent of three kids who all wanted to play select softball and baseball, Waco Warriors was the perfect fit for our family. My children were able to get the select experience they wanted in an organization whose values align with our family. The organization is well run by men and women who care about the character of the athlete first and foremost over anything else, but has also provided top notch instruction and coaching to them as athletes. We have cherished our time with the Waco Warriors.
