North Eugene
Travel Youth Basketball

The North Eugene Boys Basketball program is excited to announce the launch of a Youth Travel Basketball Team for 7th and 8th grade boys. This program is designed to develop future Highlander basketball players. One of the greatest benefits of a youth basketball program is the opportunity to strengthen the connection between our schools, families, and community. By introducing student-athletes to North Eugene Basketball at an earlier age, we can help build school pride, foster positive relationships, develop fundamental skills, and create a stronger pipeline of players who are invested in the Highlander tradition. The program also provides young athletes with mentorship opportunities, encourages healthy lifestyles, and creates a sense of belonging within the North Eugene community.
