About the Tucson Summer Pro League

The Tucson Summer Pro League for Kids, founded in 2004 by former Arizona Wildcat and ESPN college basketball analyst Corey Williams, is a premier youth basketball program designed for kids ages 10-13. This community-driven league provides young athletes with a safe and supportive environment to develop their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the game of basketball. Unlike highly competitive leagues, the Tucson Summer Pro League encourages players to play freely, emphasizing fun, teamwork, and sportsmanship over wins and losses. By fostering a love for the game in a positive atmosphere, the league has become a staple of the Tucson summer sports scene.

Sponsored by various local businesses, the league brings together families, athletes, and community members to support youth development through sports. The involvement of Tucson businesses ensures that participation remains accessible, allowing kids from all backgrounds to join and experience the joy of basketball. Beyond the game, the league serves as a platform for mentorship, where young players can learn valuable life skills such as discipline, leadership, and teamwork. Over the years, the Tucson Summer Pro League has positively impacted countless children, inspiring them to stay active, form lasting friendships, and grow both on and off the court.
