Austin Youth Sports (AYS) began during the COVID-19 school closures from 2020–2021. With gyms closed and kids isolated at home, we started with a mission:
help kids get off their screens, stay active, make friends, and learn basketball safely outdoors.
What began with just five or six neighborhood 3rd–4th graders—most total beginners—grew into a complete developmental program, producing confident athletes and strong community bonds.
From this foundation, AYS Phoenix, our elite AAU club, was created. Today, AYS Phoenix competes on some of the highest stages in youth basketball.

To build strong fundamentals, confidence, and character in young athletes while preparing them to compete at the highest levels through proven skill development and elite coaching.
