  • Our game needs fixing especially at the younger levels.
  • We make sure when working with players that they are getting something out of it

            and not just going through the motions..

  • Making sure that our players are learning as well as being challenged.
  • Player development, especially at the younger levels needs to improve.
  • Teaching our players to retain the information, the better they will become.
  • Continually challenging players 
  •  Players make sure that you are getting better and not just getting tired. You deserve to be

          given the best opportunity to improve your game and it is up to you to be active in that

  • ​About the BullDawgs    ​


  • The BullDawgs are a year round program that was created to help basketball players improve their basketball skills and
    ​gain playing experience at an advanced and challenging level. The emphasis of the program is to foster an environment
    where academic excellence is encouraged and expected and individual skill development is achieved. 

  • Our goal at BullDawgs Basketball is to provide our youth in the Bay Area/Peninsula with a wholesome avenue for positive

  • personal development by promoting academics and physical activity and to recognizing their dedication and achievements

  • through basketball. BullDawgs Basketball offers the opportunity to build self-esteem and sportsmanship while learning the fundamentals of basketball.


  • ​​The BullDawgs Basketball Club, coaches and players are members of the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union). The AAU is

  • one of the largest sports organizations in the United States. The difference between AAU basketball and other basketball

  • leagues is based on the use of full high school rules. No developmental limitations are placed on the game such as

  • participation and no-press/fast-break rules. This promotes competitive play and the broadest exposure to fundamentals

  • and advanced techniques of the game.

    We will base our roster on grade versus age based. Current players of teams moving up will be given 1st consideration

  • during tryouts. Prior commitment, attended practices and tournaments will also play a factor in the final roster. We are

  • not a recreational team. The teams are composed of 8-10 Boys and Girls that love basketball and who want to develop

  • their skills and understanding of the game. All emphasis will be on basic fundamental skills and team work.

  • We emphasize development of the individual player.

    Every effort will be made to ensure players have an opportunity to demonstrate their basketball abilities during the tryout

  • period and will be evaluated on as ball handling, shooting, and passing along with demonstrating a positive attitude,

  • work ethic, knowledge of the game and satisfactory academic performance. If a player does not make one of the teams,

  • they are encouraged to continue to develop their abilities and try out again in the future.​

  • ​Tournaments

    Players are expected to commit to 5-8 tournaments over the course of the program season. Some tournaments will be

  • local (within the bay area) and others will be out-of-town (Sacramento, Reno, etc.) and may require an overnight stay.  

  • The Coaches will select the appropriate number and location of tournaments after receiving input from

  • parents as to player availability for tournaments under consideration. Once tournament schedule is finalized, it is

  • expected that players will attend all tournaments and be ready to play.
    (Possible league play may be played in place of tournament. Availability information for the next 4 months will be

  • needed as soon as possible. Tournament dates are subject to change.)
