Welcome to the Launch of Hillsboro Elite Basketball: A Season of Firsts

Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders from Day One

This is a landmark moment for Hillsboro Elite Basketball, Inc
as we kick off our inaugural season with an incredibly talented roster that’s ready to make waves.

We are bringing a powerful combination of size, athleticism, discipline, and teamwork to the court. Built on a foundation of Leadership, Integrity, and Teamwork (LIT), our team combines size, speed, and skill with a passion for excellence. With athletic “twin towers” in the paint, sharp outside shooting, and a fast-paced offense, we’re built to dominate in transition and control the half-court game. Our defense is relentless—starting with full-court pressure, our players aim to deny every shot in the paint and leave opponents with no second chances.

More than just a basketball team, Hillsboro Elite is about shaping future leaders, champions, and role models who will positively impact their communities. Guided by former professional athletes, world champions, and college professors, we provide mentorship that extends far beyond the game. Now, we’re calling on visionary sponsors like you to join us at the ground level of this exciting journey. Your support in our inaugural season is pivotal for creating an environment where our athletes can thrive and build a legacy from day one.

Goal: Raise $12,000 to make our inaugural season a success and provide athletes with what they need to thrive both in the game and in life.
