The Ambition Basketball AAU Basketball program was established in the fall of 2012 to provide talented young athletes with quality teaching, competition, exposure, teammates, and overall experience in basketball outside of their school season.

Ambition has teams at the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and Varsity grade levels each season, made up of players throughout the state of Iowa, and participate in 16-24 tournaments in the year (including 2-3 regional trips). All coaches are NCAA-certified, and have experience coaching and running camps at the AAU, High School, and College levels. Ambition composes a very competitive schedule, designed to provide athletes with exposure to college coaches and national recruiting services. The program provides an enhanced opportunity for players to develop their skills to play at the collegiate level, earn athletic scholarships on top of providing the foundations to become independent individuals off the court.

Ambition players are selected in many ways. Through recommendations from high school or other coaches, evaluation at high school or other games, and from individual or group workouts. Ambition players are chosen based on their skill level. But also on their desire to work hard, compete, and improve their game. Former Ambition players have come from a variety of areas within Iowa and have had players from 1A schools to 4A schools, from Boundarant to Metro area, and everywhere in between. Many athletes play multiple sports, and some choose to focus just on basketball.
