HISTORY 

Founded in 2015, Luke Toth Basketball (LTB) focuses on basketball and character development of all ages.

In just two years, LTB has grown to twenty-two teams for the 2020 AAU Spring Season. Our program is considered to be one of the fastest growing programs in the state of Ohio.

The LTB travel basketball club started in September 2017 when Coach Luke Toth was training several players in his spare time as a varsity assistant coach at Lutheran West High School. With an overwhelmingly eager response from the students, parents soon approached Coach Luke to form a travel basketball team. In Fall of 2017, a single 5th grade team was established, competing in the Ohio Basketball Westside Fall League. The following Spring, LTB grew to three teams for the 2018 Spring AAU Season.

After the 2018 Spring AAU Season, the LTB program really started to grow. In the Fall of 2018, the program grew to three fall teams competing in Northeast Ohio and Akron. By the 2019 Spring AAU Season, LTB had quickly grown to eleven teams. That summer, many players and families started to hear about the LTB program, and the club gained enough momentum to take off. In the Fall of 2019, LTB had grown to seven teams for the Fall season, and then expanded to twenty-two teams for the 2020 Spring AAU Season.

In just two years, the LTB travel basketball program evolved from three teams in 2018 to twenty-two teams in 2020. LTB is considered one of the fastest growing AAU basketball programs in the state of Ohio. 

LTB's rapid growth is due to the unique atmosphere and community established amongst players, coaches, and families.
The main purpose of the program is to develop players, on and off the court. Players are taught practice techniques as they are shown effective ways to become better players while exposing themselves to important life lessons throughout the program through the lens of basketball. LTB introduces new drills and workouts for players to use in development of their game. LTB aims to prepare and equip each player for high school basketball.

Many players are unaware of the time and dedication required to not only make a high school team, but to be a well-rounded player at the high school level. In the process of preparing players for high school, the main purpose of the LTB program is to develop players while learning the game. Winning is important, but it is not the main goal of our basketball club. It is only an objective. The main goal is to develop young kids and adolescents as players and as people.
