Central Texas Basketball (CTB) is an all volunteer nonprofit 501-c(3) league with over 20 years of youth basketball experience. After many years of multiple leagues in Austin such as Basketball Congress International (BCI), Fastbreak, AAU, and Austin Summer League, the combination of these groups formed one league what is now called Central Texas Basketball. This organization has one of the best High School Team Tournament anywhere for high school girls and boys called the Capital City Showdown (CCS). CTB presents an opportunity for youth to play in a basketball program that is very competitive. With the high school tournament varsity league, spring league and CTB summer league, we average about 2000 participants each year. The league has been recognized by Austin Independent School District (AISD) and Austin Parks and Recreation Centers as a community program. They have given us permission to utilize AISD and recreation facilities for league activities.

Our Mission

The mission of CTB is to improve basketball skills, provide a positive environment, reinforce values, bridge ethical, personal, and geographical barriers through the benefits of basketball as well as its opportunities for all youth. Participants comes from the Austin area, surrounding cities, and across the state. CTB programs are intended to provide all participants an appropriate level of competition. Youth from 5th grade through seniors in high school will be given a chance to play basketball in an atmosphere promoting self esteem. The league is run by an all volunteer group and all money raised goes directly to support league activities.

Sponsors

Sponsorship is essential to cover planned and proposed activities not supported by registration fees. CTB will acknowledge corporate sponsors who participate by media advertising, banners displays, etc. One of the main goals for CTB is to have sponsors for the Capital City Showdown Girls and Boys Basketball Tournament. Because it is for high school teams, high school coaches locally, state, nationally and international consider it to be one of the best tournaments around. This requires front end funding for deposits, printing, advertising, T-shirts and various other administrative cost.
