About

The Honey Badgers program began in 2010, when Coach Matt Forbes decided to make his oldest daughter’s fifth-grade North Attleboro town team into an AAU squad. This first generation of Honey Badgers (the ‘17s) went on to win a Division II National Championship, a Hershey Junior National Championship, a Massachusetts Division I State Championship, and a GymRat Challenge, among other accolades. While a core of North Attleboro players stayed through the team’s eight year run, other players from Massachusetts joined throughout. A second team of Massachusetts players (‘20s) was formed in 2012. There is currently one Honey Badgers team, the class of ‘25.
