The Facility

Other clubs rent gym time.
We run the building.

Sol teams get the calendar first. We run the facility, so club practices are scheduled before anything else goes on the books — your night doesn’t move because someone else booked the floor.

Consistent practice nights — never a cancelled gym
Six courts in Scripps Ranch — practices, games and playoffs
Little Hoopers to varsity — every age under one roof

Don’t take our word for it

Nearly thirty years of Sol families — 4.7 stars from 136 Google reviews.

“The coaching is of the highest caliber and the kids (and parents) are treated like part of the SOL family… all the coaches are focused on developing my son as a player — they aren’t just focused on winning.”

★★★★★ — Reena C., Sol parent

“Our experience with Sol over the last five years has been fantastic. My son grew tremendously as both an athlete and a leader under the dedicated guidance of Coach Vaughn.”

★★★★★ — Mike R., Sol parent of 5 years

“I have had teams participate in the Sol league and Sol tournaments. The leagues and tournaments are well organized. The staff and league Director are hands-on and very informative.”

★★★★★ — Lance A., visiting club coach
