Basketball is a religion and way of life for many indigenous people across the United States. There are numerous fantastic athletes of Native-American and/or Indigenous heritage. Tribe Athletics and Tribal Nations Recruiting is the top exposure series for Indigenous student-athletes in the United States.
Director Jon Yarrow Jr. and Co-Director Cameron Smith have done a great job with putting together the largest Indigenous tournament at the end of June, titled the Native American Vegas Junior Nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada. The tournament is the largest in the United States - drawing in (148) boys and girls teams from multiple age groups across the country.
Besides offering the biggest and best Indigenous National Tournament, Tribal Nations Recruiting offers awesome individual showcase events, where student-athletes gain valuable exposure to college coaches and NCAA-approved scouts, as well as learn the ropes of how the college recruitment process works.
“I just want to help provide a platform for Native American and Indigenous Student-Athletes," said Jon Yarrow Jr. "Cameron, myself and our families are committed to helping provide a platform to assist the student-athletes gain valuable exposure for post-high school educational opportunities.
