In a league known for high-energy play, heart, and hustle, one team has stood tall in Texas for a full decade—the Texas Red Wolves of the American Basketball Association (ABA). This year, the Red Wolves celebrate their 10-year anniversary, not just as a basketball franchise, but as a driving force for community engagement, youth empowerment, and the continued growth of professional sports in San Antonio and across Texas.

From humble beginnings to becoming a standout franchise in the ABA’s Gale Unlimited Division, the Texas Red Wolves ABA Basketball Team (www.TexasRedWolvesABABasketball.com) has built a legacy that extends far beyond the court.

A Legacy Rooted in the ABA

Founded in alignment with the ABA’s rich history of fast-paced, fan-friendly basketball, the Red Wolves have consistently delivered competitive performance while embracing the league’s core mission: providing opportunities for athletes, engaging fans, and giving back to communities.

Under the ABA umbrella (www.abagaleunlimited.com), the Red Wolves have become a beacon of consistency and integrity. Players have not only represented Texas with pride—they’ve inspired a generation of youth who now dream of one day wearing that red and black jersey.

Looking Ahead: A Bold New Era

As the team enters its second decade, the Texas Red Wolves are setting their sights higher than ever. With new partnerships fueling their momentum, 2025 marks the beginning of a bold new chapter:

• 🤝 Global Chamber San Antonio Partnership – The Red Wolves are working alongside the Global Chamber to expand their international footprint, tapping into cross-border business development and sports diplomacy. This collaboration aims to elevate the team's visibility globally while strengthening business and cultural ties locally.

• 💙 Kickstart Foundation: Giving Back with Purpose – At the heart of the Red Wolves' success lies their commitment to the community. Through their nonprofit arm, the Kickstart Foundation, the Red Wolves are investing in youth mentoring, educational outreach, and health initiatives. From school visits to holiday drives, the foundation ensures that basketball is just the beginning of their impact.
