Barnstormers Basketball of Iowa was established to provide talented young athletes with quality teaching, competition, exposure, teammates, and a unique "family" atmosphere outside of their school basketball programs.  The Barnstormers began with a single team in 2005, and merged with the Iowa Mavericks program in 2006 to provide more opportunities for more of Iowa's young athletes.

Made up of boys from throughout the state of Iowa, the Barnstormers now field eight teams, grades 6-12, for the 2008 season.  Each age group will participate in approximately ten tournaments per year in the spring and summer months.  Barnstormers teams will consist of 10-12 players per team, and are coached by NCAA certified coaches.  In the past, the teams have traveled to tournaments in South Dakota, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, and Nevada, as well as many local tournaments throughout Iowa.

Barnstormers Basketball of Iowa is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization: money or other donations to the Barnstormers are used to defray travel costs for athletes and parents, purchase uniforms and other gear, and pay tournament entry fees.  All donations to the Barnstormers are deductible by donors for Federal income tax purposes.
