Avon Elite Basketball was established during March Madness 2021 by Coach Wayne Campbell and his wife Jessica.  

​

In the spring of 2020,there was little hope of a basketball season due to Covid quarantine and lockdown. Fortunately, we received a text message from a past teammate's mom telling us there may be a travel basketball season in the fall.  8 boys came out for tryouts, including Campbell's son.  Coach Campbell's enthusiasm and previous coaching experiences earned him an invitation to assistant coach the team.  Coach Campbell called them the Elite 8 with the aspiration of turning them into the underdogs of the season. 

​

As the season began, one of the boys found other interest and the team shrunk to 7 boys.  Meanwhile, another player suffered an injury and was unable to return for the season. The 6 remaining boys, who hadn’t trained together and were not able to attend over half of their initial practices due to the snowy winter and covid quarantines continued to  persevere and play in the league. The team was enduring a losing season, untrained and out numbered .  Somewhere in all the losses the team found a way to win.  Avon’s losses inspired Coach Campbell to start Avon Elite in order to become more involved in training programs and skill development on the fundamentals of basketball.

​

Avon Elite is proud to offer a variety of skills and development programs for first grade through highschool.
