Dunk Basketball was founded by Damon Arnette to raise the level of play, competition and excitement in the game of basketball among youth. He effectively uses his successful college and professional experience acquired from playing around the world, to develop a players talents through camps, leagues, tournaments, individual training and team consultations.
Dunk Basketball Youth Association (DBYA) is a statewide organization designed to upgrade the playing experience for coaches, teams, players and parents. DBYA is great for teams and players ready to take their game to the next level. If recreational leagues don't offer enough or traveling throughout the state becomes a bit much DBYA is just what you need.
DBYA headquarters are located in South Florida and will be expanding its membership to cities across Florida, allowing teams to be part of the first statewide basketball league.
