Toughness

Toughness is the hallmark of everything we do. We support it through skill development, academic success, and the relentless pursuit of intentional excellence.

Community

Our commitment to community engagement runs deep across the Kansas City Metro. Our roots are local, but our reach extends to campuses and communities across the country.

Accountability

We set clear expectations and standards for every player and coach in the KEBA family. Accountability builds character, strengthens teams, and helps our culture thrive.

Leadership

Every coach on our team uses the servant leadership approach, on and off the court. Our goal is to build winners today that can take the challenges of tomorrow head-on and with empathy.
