Montgomery County, TX — A new era of competitive basketball is taking flight as Dragon’s Breath Youth Sports proudly announces the launch of the Montgomery County Dragons, an official franchise of the National Basketball League (NBL). Tryouts begin August 4, and all male and female athletes from middle school to age 30 are invited to earn their place on the court.

The Dragons will be structured across four competitive levels (D1–D4), giving athletes a clear path from youth development to paid professional play.

  • D1 (Ages 18–30): Elite paid player team

  • D2 (Ages 18–30): Semi-pro unpaid developmental team

  • D3 (Grades 9–12): High school showcase team

  • D4 (Grades 6–8): Middle school travel team

All players will train under FIBA rules, play 10-minute quarters with a shot clock, and develop under a coaching system designed to prepare them for high-level and even international competition. Every athlete in the program is required to hold a valid passport, ensuring they are eligible for potential overseas All-Star team trips.

Tryout Fees:

  • D1 & D2: $200

  • D3 & D4: $125

“Our goal is to create more than just teams,” said Wallace Jones, founder of Dragon’s Breath Youth Sports and franchise owner of the Montgomery County Dragons. “We’re building a family, a foundation, and a future for athletes who are ready to take their game higher than they ever dreamed. We want to give them the wings to fly.”

With a focus on youth empowerment, athletic development, and long-term opportunity, the Montgomery County Dragons are already turning heads across Texas. The organization will compete in national events and host exposure combines from September through November to help elevate players to collegiate and professional levels.
