The HUB Youth Sports & Event Center
The HUB is more than a sports facility — it is a future home for mentorship, leadership development, faith-based programming, and opportunities for kids to grow on and off the court.
West Texas is full of talented, hardworking young athletes. What has been missing is not potential — it is access.
Families often travel outside Lubbock for tournaments, training, and high-quality indoor sports experiences.
The HUB is designed to help change that by creating a place where athletes can compete, families can gather, coaches can develop players, and the community can invest in the next generation.
What's Planned Inside
10 Regulation Basketball Courts
Flexible court space for basketball, volleyball, tournaments, practices, camps, leagues, and community programming.
Championship Arena
A premier competition space designed for major games, showcase events, ceremonies, and community gatherings.
Training & Performance Areas
Space for athlete development, strength, skill work, leadership programming, and team preparation.
Community & Multipurpose Space
Flexible rooms for meetings, mentorship, leadership development, education, and community programs.
Spectator & Family Amenities
A facility designed for athletes and families, with seating, gathering areas, hospitality, concessions, and event-day support.
Regional Event Capacity
A destination built to host local, regional, and travel sports events that bring visitors, families, and economic activity to Lubbock.
Location
Planned location: Bill McAlister Park | Lubbock, Texas
Economic & Community Impact
The HUB is more than a facility -- it is designed to create impact beyond the court.
For youth: greater access to sports, mentorship, leadership, and character-building opportunities.
For families: more opportunities close to home.
For Lubbock: a regional destination that can attract tournaments, visitors, and community activity.
For sponsors and partners: a visible way to invest in youth, families, and the future of West Texas.
