Austin Royals Christian Athletics

Welcome to Austin Royals Basketball

Welcome to Royals Nation!

We are looking forward to the 2025-2026 season! As we enter year 20 as an organization, we hope you'd like to be a part of this historic season!

The Royals compete in Basketball with teams for 4th-12th graders. The Elementary and Middle School teams compete in the local ACAA conference and homeschool tournaments in Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston.

The High School teams compete against public, private, and other homeschool teams from around central Texas and regularly attend the District (Bryan, TX), State (Austin, TX), Regional (DFW Area, TX) & National (Springfield, MO) Homeschool Basketball Championships.

For any returning players, new to the sport or relocating, our program is designed to develop competitive basketball skills while nurturing faith, character, and community. Through weekly devotions, team prayer, and a season-wide service project, we pour into the hearts of our athletes as much as their game.

At Royals Basketball, we don’t just train players—we disciple leaders, uplift teammates, and build a culture rooted in purpose, unity, and Christ...The Royals Way!
