The travel basketball landscape took a much needed trajectory upward last week with the announcement of The Grassroots Basketball Association by The Hoop Group, HoopSeen, and NY2LA Sports.  The collaboration and unity of the three largest and most impactful independent travel basketball brands to form this exciting new platform created a needed balance and opportunity for some of the best independent programs in the country to compete against each other and utilize the large networks and reach of all three brands to help promote and advance their player’s respective interests in terms of competition, exposure, and opportunities.  This will also provide an opportunity for college coaches and scouts to track and see some of the best independent programs in the country compete in an elite organized setting.
