YPA Young Players Association
In the year 2000, YPA was founded by a group of young ballers from Oakland, California who grew up with a passion for basketball and streetball. They formed a group called YPA (Young Players Association), a group that represents basketball to the fullest. This passion led them to grow a company that focused on showcasing basketball as a whole. They showed up at local tournaments selling t-shirts and sponsoring teams. They provide performance apparel, team uniforms, products and services, basketball events, basketball camps, scouting services as well as basketball accessories. YPA represents Heart, Game and Mentality. There are about 10 million in the U.S. alone that love basketball enough to play on a regular basis. 450 of these get to make it to the NBA. YPA embraces everyone. Whether you play at the Y or in the league, if you have passion for basketball like they do, you are part of YPA already.
