Developing players to be successful on and off the court
ETG Midwest is a non profit basketball organization located in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metropolitan area. ETG has a rich history despite a new name and logo. In 1992 Coaches Doug Woodard and Scott Hawk began the Omaha Crusaders. This highly successful organization merged with Omaha Sports Academy in 2011 to create OSA Crusaders, one of the most respected organizations throughout the Midwest. Throughout this time period over 200 boys and girls have earned college scholarships at the NAIA, D3, D2 and D1 levels. We are proud to call these players our alumni.
In 2022 the decision was made to rebrand to ETG Midwest, this rebranding was meant to not only build on our prior successes but to continue the organization's upward trajectory. During this process we expanded our leadership to individuals from multiple organizations in order to better represent the community and players we serve. ETG is meant to be an inclusive program that plans, promotes, organizes, and implements a comprehensive and competitive spring and summer basketball program that will give athletes an advantage in earning a college scholarship.
ETG has only 1 team at 15U, 16U and 17U for both our boys and girls programs. These teams are made up of talented young men and women and more importantly are held to a high standard for their off the court behavior. Our goal is to enable our players to be successful in life on and off of the court.
