12u and under:  Club Team

  • The primary emphasis of the 12U and under teams is the overall development of basketball competency:  a combination of fundamental skills (i.e. dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.) and basketball IQ.  These teams will focus on competing in league play with tournaments in the local area in appropriate divisions approximately 1-2 times every 2 months.

13u (7th Grade):  Select Team

  • In addition to the ongoing development of fundamental skills and Basketball IQ, the 13U select team within BCA will also emphasize competition and will be competing in the bigger, more prestigious tournaments in the local area and possibly surrounding areas like San Diego or Las Vegas in preparation for a national circuit schedule.

14u (8th Grade): Elite National Team

  • The 14U Elite National Team represents the fruition of our program.  In addition to the refinement and stabilization of fundamental skills and expanding basketball intelligence, we encourage our 14U team to compete at the highest national level, competing in some of the most prestigious tournaments around the country.
