About Our Bastrop Youth Basketball Program
Bastrop is a basketball town. Families here follow their Bastrop ISD teams closely, and the players we coach show up in those same gyms on Friday nights.
Our Bastrop group pulls players from Bastrop Middle School and Riverside Middle School, and from Bastrop High School. Bastrop ISD reorganized its middle schools for the 2025-26 year, so families with older kids may still know Riverside by its former name. With one comprehensive high school serving the city, competition for a varsity spot is concentrated, and the players who make it are usually the ones still getting reps in the off-season.
We do not run a gym inside Bastrop city limits. Our south and central practices are held at Austin Sports Center Central and Lively Middle School, a straight shot west along the Highway 71 corridor, which keeps the trip simple for families coming from Bastrop, Cedar Creek, Elgin and Smithville. Practices are scheduled in the evenings and on weekends with commuting families in mind, and carpools between Bastrop and Cedar Creek families tend to form on their own once a season starts. Little Hoopers runs ages 6 to 8, boys join teams in 4th grade and girls in 5th. Call 512-312-6283.

Sessions run at Austin Sports Center Central, a short drive west along the Highway 71 corridor, and cover the basics that make the game fun: dribbling with both hands, catching and passing, footwork, and sharing the floor with teammates. Coaches keep the gym busy and positive so first-time players build confidence along with skills. Boys and girls both welcome. Call 512-312-6283 to ask about the next session.

Bastrop is a basketball town. Families here follow their Bastrop ISD teams closely, and the players we coach show up in those same gyms on Friday nights. That is the point of what we do. Impact Sportz was founded in Chicago by Lonnie Welch and Toron Clark and relocated to Austin, where we have been developing Central Texas players since 2010. We build our training around what school coaches actually ask for: ball handling under pressure, honest defense, and players who understand spacing. Boys can join a team starting in 4th grade and girls in 5th, and many stay with the same coaching staff through high school.
If you are searching for youth basketball near Bastrop, Impact Sportz is the program most local families end up in. We do not run a gym inside Bastrop city limits. Our south and central practices and games are held at Austin Sports Center Central and Lively Middle School, both a straight shot west toward Austin, which keeps the trip simple for families coming from Bastrop, Cedar Creek, Elgin, Smithville and Del Valle. Practices are scheduled in the evenings and on weekends with commuting families in mind. Call 512-312-6283 and we will point you to the right group.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Is there AAU basketball near Bastrop?
Yes. Impact Sportz serves Bastrop families with AAU select teams, camps and skills training. We do not have a facility in Bastrop itself, so local players train with our south and central groups at Austin Sports Center Central and Lively Middle School. Practices are set for evenings and weekends so the drive works around school and work schedules.
Where do Bastrop players practice and play?
Bastrop players train at Austin Sports Center Central and Lively Middle School, our south and central locations. Both are west of Bastrop toward Austin along the Highway 71 corridor. Tournaments take place at those gyms and at events around Central Texas. Call 512-312-6283 for the current practice schedule before you register.
What age can my child start with Impact Sportz?
Children can start at age 6 in Little Hoopers, which runs for ages 6 to 8 and teaches dribbling, passing, shooting form and team play. Team basketball starts in 4th grade for boys and 5th grade for girls, and the program continues through high school. Every level trains at the same gyms.
When is the AAU basketball season?
The main stretch of AAU basketball runs from February until July, right after the high school season ends. We also field fall and winter teams, so Bastrop players who want to keep developing between school seasons have somewhere to go. Camps and small group training run alongside the team calendar throughout the year.
Is the drive from Bastrop worth it for youth basketball?
Most Bastrop families tell us it is, because the coaching and competition are hard to match closer to home. We schedule practices in blocks rather than scattering them across the week, so you are not making the trip constantly. Carpools between Bastrop, Cedar Creek and Elgin families form naturally once the season starts.
Is AAU basketball better than high school?
AAU is an excellent outlet for fans and coaches to see top talent playing together in the same building. Compared to high school ball, there is only one game per night, and all of the top talents might not be playing that night.
How do I join an AAU team?
We have tryouts 4 times a year. Grades 4th through 8th have 4 tryouts per year. High School has 3 tryouts per year.
How much does it cost to play?
Costs vary by age group, season and how much tournament travel a team takes on. We would rather quote you honestly than post a number that does not fit your situation, so call 512-312-6283 or email impactsportz@gmail.com and we will walk you through exactly what a season looks like for your child.
