When we open the gym doors, it’s like a magnet—the place is packed. They could be anywhere else, but they choose to be here. That says something. It tells us that what we’re doing matters, and more importantly, that these young athletes believe in it too.
Our coaches? They’re not just any coaches. They’re specialists in physical training, sports medicine, and college recruitment. But even more importantly, they’re former players from right here in the community. People know them—whether it’s from seeing them around town or watching them play back in the day.

Our coaches? They’re not just any coaches. They’re specialists in physical training, sports medicine, and college recruitment. But even more importantly, they’re former players from right here in the community. People know them—whether it’s from seeing them around town or watching them play back in the day. Coaches from other schools and communities even stop by regularly just to talk shop or help train our players. It’s a constant flow of knowledge and support.
At Area 6046, it’s not just about teaching basketball; we’re also teaching our kids about the business side of sports. From understanding the responsibility of running a team to learning how to market and sell products, we’re giving them real-world skills they can use beyond the game.
Area 6046 isn’t just a basketball team; we are a beacon of growth, discipline, and community for young athletes in Hammond, Indiana. As a premier traveling basketball program, we believe in developing high-performing athletes and well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the challenges of both the court and life beyond it.
At the core of Area 6046 is a commitment to personal growth. Our athletes learn early on that success is built on dedication to their craft, education, and character. Through personal goal-setting, weekly workouts, and mentorship from volunteers and coaches, we instill values that last a lifetime. This is not just about sports; it’s about building future leaders who are resilient, disciplined, and compassionate.
While athletic achievement is essential, we value the process over the outcome. Our athletes are encouraged to set personal milestones, focusing on preparation, learning, and growth. Every game is an opportunity to grow, and every practice is a step towards becoming not only a better athlete but a better person.
Discipline is the foundation of our program. We stress punctuality and reliability, ensuring our athletes understand the importance of time management and commitment. By arriving on time for every workout, practice, and team meeting, our athletes learn to balance the demands of sports with school and life—skills that translate far beyond basketball.
Our coaching staff, which includes high school and college-level mentors, takes a holistic approach to player development. We work with each athlete to enhance their on-court performance while providing them with critical life skills that prepare them for both academic challenges and future careers. Whether it’s through intensive practice or academic support, we ensure that our athletes grow in every aspect of their lives.
Our long-term vision is to extend this experience to global platforms, offering even more expansive opportunities for growth.
Area 6046 athletes participate in tournaments across the United States, giving them exposure to new levels of competition and the opportunity to test their skills against top talent. These experiences are invaluable, offering lessons that can’t be taught in a classroom or local gym. Competing alongside peers who are just as motivated, if not more, pushes our athletes to strive harder, aim higher, and dream bigger. While difficult to quantify, the inspiration gained from these tournaments is transformative.
We prepare our athletes for the complexities of adulthood through mental and emotional resilience training, emphasizing that a strong mind is the key to a strong body. This holistic approach ensures that our participants are equipped with the tools they need for personal success and community contribution, no matter what path they choose.
At Area 6046, it’s not just about teaching basketball; we’re also teaching our kids about the business side of sports. From understanding the hustle of running a team to learning how to market and sell products, we’re giving them real-world skills they can use beyond the game.
And here’s the best part: every dollar from our products goes right back into expanding our services and supporting the community. Whether it’s buying new equipment, funding tournaments, or helping out with other local needs, every purchase makes a difference. So when you grab some gear, you’re not just supporting our team—you’re supporting the entire community.
Our goals are many but the need for a positive community is great. Become a part of our team!
