About the BullDawgs
BullDawgs Basketball Program
The BullDawgs Basketball Club is a year-round program dedicated to helping young athletes improve their basketball skills,
gain competitive playing experience, and develop as individuals both on and off the court. Our focus is on fostering a supportive environment where academic achievement is expected, personal growth is encouraged, and basketball fundamentals are mastered.
Our mission is to provide Bay Area and Peninsula youth with a positive, structured program that promotes academics, physical activity, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Through basketball, we aim to build self-esteem, recognize dedication and achievement, and help players develop skills that extend beyond the court.
BullDawgs Basketball is affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), one of the largest sports organizations in the country. Unlike recreational leagues, our teams play full high school rules, without limitations such as no-press or no-fast-break rules. This ensures competitive play while maximizing exposure to the fundamentals and advanced techniques of the game.
Team selection is based on grade level/age, with returning players given first consideration. Commitment, attendance at practices and tournaments, and overall dedication will also be considered. Our teams consist of 9–12 players who are passionate about basketball and eager to improve. Every effort is made to develop each player’s individual skills while emphasizing teamwork, sportsmanship, and a love of the game.
During tryouts, players are evaluated on ball handling, shooting, passing, game knowledge, attitude, work ethic, and academic performance. Those who are not selected are encouraged to continue developing their skills and try out again in the future.
At BullDawgs Basketball, our goal is simple: to cultivate skilled, confident, and well-rounded athletes who excel in basketball
and in life. 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.

or game. AAU membership runs annually from September 1st through August 31st. All players added in the Spring along
with High School players returning/selected to the AAU High School Tournament team, will receive an AAU Card which
covers them for tournaments, practices and league play.
Fundraising and Sponsorship
Throughout the season the BullDawgs will be running snack bars during tournaments to minimize costs to players.
Additional ideas for fundraising and Sponsorships are always welcome. Please ask for a “Sponsor Packet” if you know
of someone or company that would be interested.
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.)
Traveling Expenses:
All costs associated with travel to tournaments such as transportation, food and hotel stay are the players responsibilities.
