The Cincinnati Royals AAU youth basketball organization was founded by Tom Sunderman in 1993, starting with just one boys team. Since then the boys program has grown to have over 20 teams every year ranging in age from 3rd grade through 12th grade. With 18 State Championships, 10 state runner-ups, over 60 National Tournament appearances, and 12 top ten finishes at Nationals, including a 2nd place finish in 2001, they have become one of the premier boys programs in the country! The boys program will also feature several non-travel teams. For non-travel teams contact Ron Sensibaugh at 702-4410.
Then in 2000 Greg Schaefer, Mike Buckle, and Steve Athey decided to start up the girls side of the program. Starting with just their one team at 13/u they took 3rd at state and went on to the National Tournament that year. In the girls short history, they have 3 State Championships, 4 Runner-ups, and 15 National Tournament appearances, including a 9th place finish in 2005 at the 17/u age division. They are continuing to grow to be one of not just Ohio's top programs, but a Nationaly recognized program as well. They will field over 8 teams this year and continue to add to their short, but great tradition!
