I’d Rather Play and Lose…Than Sit on the Bench and Win!!!

We offer seasons all year long, for youth Kindergarten – 8th Grade. Teams are organized by grade not age. Wham! Jam! Slam! Youth Basketball Association is a non-profit program offered to the East Valley. Wham is dedicated to support, benefit, promote, supervise, and develop the interest of the sport. Wham was organized in Gilbert, Arizona in 1989 when the town council allowed Wham to replace the Parks and Recreation Youth Basketball Program. Wham began in Mesa, Arizona in 1993, in Chandler in 1995, and in Queen Creek and Higley in 2002. Wham has grown from 400 to 4500 participants; that is over 450 Wham teams playing in the East Valley.
