About the Program
We develop leaders on and off the floor. We compete with discipline. We carry ourselves like royalty — not in ego, but in standards.
What We Do
Westside Kings & Queens is an AAU basketball program based in West Valley, Utah. We run boys and girls teams across 15U, 16U, and 17U divisions — competing in Power 32, regional tournaments, and local Utah leagues.
Structured Training
Two 2-hour team practices per week focused on fundamentals, strategy, and game preparation. Every practice has structure. Every drill has intention. Every rep builds habits that translate to games.
Competitive Play
AAU tournament competition against top programs in Utah and the region. Real games, real pressure, real growth. Your athlete won't just play more — they'll get better.
Next-Level Prep
High school varsity and beyond. We build the habits, discipline, and confidence that translate to the next stage. 15U, 16U, and 17U divisions for boys and girls.
Program Philosophy
Accountability
Players show up on time, put in the work, and hold each other to the standard. No excuses, no shortcuts. The discipline we build on the court carries into the classroom and into life.
Toughness
We don't back down from competition. We seek it out. Our athletes learn to respond to adversity, play through pressure, and compete with composure when it matters most.
Confidence
Every player deserves to believe in their game. We develop confidence through preparation — when you've put in the reps, you trust yourself on the floor.
Culture
This isn't just a team — it's a standard. Players carry themselves like royalty. They respect the game, respect their opponents, and represent the Westside with pride.
"Built on the Westside. Built to win the right way."
Divisions
Boys and girls teams competing at the travel and local level.

Recruitment & Exposure
We don't just develop players — we create opportunities for them to get noticed.
Circuit Play
Our teams compete on circuits where college scouts and evaluators are actively watching. Power 32, regional showcases, and exposure tournaments put our athletes in front of the people who matter.
Player Profiles
Through our partnership with Coach West Recruiting, every player gets a professional profile — stats, film, and direct connections to college programs looking for talent.
College Readiness
We prepare athletes for the recruiting process — not just the basketball, but understanding what college coaches look for in character, academics, and competitive mindset.
Real Pathways
This isn't rec ball. Every player who wants to compete at the next level gets a real shot. We put in the work to connect talent with opportunity.
