Trae Young announced Friday morning that Yukon will be getting a Young Family Athletic center soon. He posted on social media that he would be building yet another center for families in the Yukon area and beyond.

Built by the Trae Young Family Foundation, the Young Family Athletic Center (YFAC) is a 122,000 square foot athletic facility built on a 12-acre site on the north side of Norman, OK. Since the YFAC’s opening in 2024, it’s been the home of various athletic events, tournaments, charity drives, and resources for families across the metro.

“The center is going to offer lots of cool things that a lot of people are going to be able to use, experience, and love. The kids won’t have to go far, you have a facility coming to you.”” Young said in the announcement posted to Facebook.

Young has a deep connection with Oklahoma. He moved to Norman as a child and attended Norman North High School in Oklahoma. Rather than leaving for programs like Kentucky or Kansas, Young chose the University of Oklahoma. In his lone season (2017-2018), he led the NCAA in both scoring (27.4 PPG) and assists (8.7 APG) becoming one of college basketball’s biggest stars.

He and his family donated \(4M to help build the Young Family Athletic Center in Norman, a major community sports complex. Young has also donated nearly \)1 million dollars to the University of Oklahoma’s basketball program and surrounding communities.
