AAU Girls Basketball in Killeen

Posted on: September 8, 2025, 3:23 am

My daughter Emma is in her first year of AAU girls basketball in Killeen. She is having a great experience and I am proud to see how much she is growing.

Emma trains at a place called Skyline Gym. The gym is part of a church complex, but it is in its own separate building and is treated completely separate from the church itself. This is not a religious program and anyone can join, no matter what. Her coach, Coach Bobby, works hard to help the kids get better at basketball and believe in themselves.

Before training at Skyline, Emma also worked with coaches from Killeen Parks and Recreation and played on an AAU team called Centx Next Level. That program was great, but they only train during the active AAU season, which lasts about 2 to 3 months. At Skyline, training continues year-round, and that has made a big difference in her development.

One thing I have noticed is that middle school girls basketball does not get much attention. A lot of girls do not show up to play, and so not many people come to watch. That is sad, because these girls are strong and talented. I hope more girls join and more people come support them.

Basketball is not just about playing a sport. It helps kids break through mental walls, gain confidence, and stay balanced. Emma has become stronger, not just on the court, but in her mind too.

If you are in the Killeen area and want to try AAU basketball, Skyline Gym offers training for boys and girls in elementary, middle school, and high school. You do not have to be on a team already. You can come learn, practice, and improve.

Let’s help grow middle school girls basketball in Killeen. These kids are working hard, and they deserve our support.
