ELKHORN'S PREMIER
YOUTH BASKETBALL PROGRAM

EAA Basketball is Omaha’s premier destination for youth athletes who want to develop their game, compete with purpose, and be part of something bigger than themselves. Our Futures Recreational Program offers boys and girls from kindergarten through 8th grade the chance to build fundamental basketball skills in a team-centered, encouraging environment. Designed for athletes of all experience levels, Futures focuses on teaching the game the right way—emphasizing teamwork, effort, and growth over wins and losses. Players learn how to play with each other, not just alongside each other, setting a strong foundation for future success both on and off the court.

For athletes ready to push their potential, Nebraska Impact is EAA’s elite-level select program—recognized as one of the most competitive and respected in the region. Impact teams train with intensity and compete in high-level tournaments to develop the habits and mindset required to excel at the next level. But what truly sets EAA apart is our commitment to building teams—not just rosters. Whether athletes are stepping onto the court for the first time or chasing a college dream, EAA Basketball is where Omaha’s youth come to compete, grow, and belong.

WHO WE AREOUR PHILOSOPHY

DEVELOPING THE PERSON:
At EAA, we believe that coaching goes far beyond the game itself. Our coaches are dedicated to the holistic development of every child, striving to nurture not only athletic ability but also strong character and life skills. We view the soccer field as an opportunity to teach values like responsibility, integrity, leadership, and resilience—qualities that young athletes will carry with them into school, relationships, and future careers. By fostering a positive and supportive environment, we aim to inspire our players to strive for excellence in all areas of their lives, helping them grow into confident, respectful, and well-rounded individuals.

DEVELOPING THE ATHLETE:
EAA is committed to helping every athlete reach their fullest potential through high-quality coaching, age-appropriate training, and a focus on continuous improvement. Our goal is to create a positive, safe, and educational environment where players are challenged to grow their skills, understand the game, and develop a lifelong love for sport. Whether an athlete is just beginning their journey or preparing for more advanced levels of play, we emphasize individual development, teamwork, and a growth mindset. We want each child to feel supported, empowered, and motivated to give their best effort every time they step onto the field.
