Welcome to the 2025 Tony Aguirre Basketball Tournament
Guadalupe Centers is proud to announce the return of the Tony Aguirre Latino Men’s Basketball Tournament. The tournament will take place on May 17-18, 2025, bringing together 11 elite teams from across the Midwest –Los Magos (OMA), Necios (SATX), Chicago La Villita, KC La Familia, Arroyo Boys, Houston Jesters, Chicago Warriors, Guadalupe Centers, Omaha Orgullo, KC Valiente & Wichita Basic Brown for a weekend of competitive play, cultural celebration, and community impact.
Founded in honor of Tony Aguirre, a legendary local coach in the Westside, who advocated for Latino youth, this long-standing tournament was created as a space for Latino men to compete, connect, and build community. That legacy lives on today as participation remains exclusive to Latino males, preserving the event’s origins and cultural significance.
Also, don’t miss out on the 35 and Over Tournament on Saturday, May 17th at Cristo Rey Kansas City, ending with the championship at Guadalupe Centers High School!
