This season, fans can expect to see even more incredible talent as future NBA stars take the court in Osceola County. With NBA players assigned to our roster and a group of hungry young athletes eager to make their mark, the energy in the building is sure to be electric.
You’ll see the next generation of basketball greatness right here in our hometown, and we’re committed to being an invested community partner in Osceola County.
