The league is a cooperative partnership between the Dobyns-Bennett High School Basketball program and the City of Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation Department.
“As we watch our future players grow and develop through our Tribe Basketball Youth League, it’s so exciting because we know that’s the future of Dobyns Bennett basketball,” said Chris Poore, head basketball coach at Dobyns-Bennett.
