  • ​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.​
