The Wake County Basketball Association travel program develops players to their fullest potential through: intensive skill training and conditioning; utilization of a team-oriented system of fundamental offensive and defensive skill sets; developmentally appropriate competition and exposure; coaching that demands mental and physical toughness; uncompromising sportsmanship and respect for teammates, opponents and officials; and the teaching of respect and appreciation for the game of basketball.
 
WCBA seeks to provide opportunities to those athletes who wish to focus on fundamentals, skill development, and teamwork, in a more intense, more competitive training environment. WCBA strives to be recognized as one of the premiere travel basketball clubs in the United States and functions as an independent, outspoken leader in youth sports. WCBA will focus on the quality of its teaching and model a balanced, healthy approach to youth basketball -- supporting student-athletes with their goals as they relate to academics, fitness, nutrition, and skill development.  Our program continuously nurtures the WCBA recreational program to generate more high level skill development and more widespread interest among member families.  As part of WCBA, the travel program will establish a home facility that can provide an ideal environment to foster team-building, self-discipline, commitment, loyalty, and sportsmanship.
