Our Basketball Club offers a variety of developmental programs for beginner clinics and leagues to elite AAU travel teams.
The mission of BEBC is to evolve players who love the game of basketball and develop confidence and skills to go from beginner to high school varsity, and for some, play in college and beyond.
In addition to offering AAU teams, BEBC has created a unique rec level program called PRO Coach Basketball. PCB is a standardized and fully complete PURE DEVELOPMENT program designed to work with all youth basketball organizations nationwide.
The PRO Coach Basketball curriculum was built to account for the lack of teaching and professional development in far too many youth basketball organizations. The PCB mission is to Develop players, Train coaches & Educate parents.
On this page you will find an overview of all programs, our philosophy and our strategy to help youth become the best version of themselves on and off the court.
The Bald Eagle Basketball Club allows players from Beginner to Advanced improve their game 1-4 times a week all year through high-level coaching and competition. We do this through Pro Coach Academy Training, Growth Leagues and AAU Teams.
Bald Eagle stands against Sports Specialization in youth and we believe kids should be multi-sport athletes. We've created a system where kids can engage in high-level basketball year-round without having to quit their traditionally in-season sports.
THE STATE OF BASKETBALL TODAY
There is a massive void in the industry where skills are not being taught by Professional, high quality coaches. Player development is suffering despite all the money being spent on "shiny things".
To be blunt, the typical Club or AAU Basketball program today is frequently misrepresented as some sort of "elite" level of play like it used to be. The new reality is that 90% of the current AAU programs out there are nothing more than an overpriced recreation league.
Outside of AAU, traditional Recreation Leagues are the other option. Some are good, but ALL are hit-or-miss because they rely on volunteer coaches who typically lack experience and expertise.
Entire seasons of development and passion for the game can be lost by putting kids in the wrong environment.
THE SOLUTION - The Creation of PRO Coach Basketball
The Bald Eagle Basketball Club solves these issues with guaranteed Pro-Coaching and Expert Programming coupled with an empowering message from The Positive Coaching Alliance. We include high repetitions and quality feedback in various formats of competition with annualized growth plans specific to their age, goals and current level of skill.
BEBC offers AAU teams and the PRO Coach Development Series in seasons all year long.
We build our programs and message to support varying interests from multi-sport athletes to sport-specialized basketball players. We operate our seasons in the same Fall-Winter-Spring-Summer seasons so players can do as much or as little as they choose.
We offer subscription discounts and scheduling flexibility when players sign up for an entire season whether they can make every session or not. We don't micromanage or make you feel bad if you can't attend a session. It's a "come when it works for your family" expectation.
At every event, we practice skill development and structured "part to whole" progressions that evolve into skill-specific competitions and game situations.
This is EXACTLY the environment players need to develop & thrive, not just "more court time", but quality court time delivered by professional, expert coaches.

Program 2: PRO COACH DEVELOPMENT SERIES
No other Rec level league model provides this level of coaching. It's typically unqualified volunteer parents and teenage coaches.
Similar to the NBA model, Coach Bob designed a G-League concept so that youth players interested in developing their game to get to the next level could get quality training from PROFESSIONAL COACHES in a competitive environment for maximum GROWTH.
PRO Coach Series: Growth League, Team Practice, Private Training
Series Option 1 - PRO Coach Growth League
> Weekend - Practice and Games on the same day. The format includes a 45min Skills practice led by a Pro Coach followed by 45 minutes of various game formats (2v2,3v3,5v5, full, half, etc). We incorporate unique rules or stipulations to maximize growth, development and to create a perfectly balanced competitive environment.
> The G-League design includes In-House Tournaments, Player Awards and Team Prizes. We emphasize team culture, respect & inclusion in a highly active and sportsmanship-centered competitive environment.
> We offer the following G-League programs in both BOYS and GIRLS Divisions. At times in certain sessions, we merge boys and girls to maximize the opportunity for growth or to manage enrollment.
To register for G-League you will need to go to the web page specifically for your age group below. Friends in the same grade range can stay together for skill work. We change teams regularly for maximum quality variation, so we do not guarantee friends will always be on the same team during games but they will be playing each other if not on same team.

Series Option 2 - PRO Coach Team Practice
In order to make the leap from Recreation league level basketball to AAU and Elite AAU, players need quality reps and ongoing coaching so we offer this additional midweek program to compliment PC Growth League.
> Midweek Practice & Scrimmages. The format includes a 45min Skills practice led by a Pro Coach followed by 45 minutes of various scrimmage formats (2v2,3v3,5v5, full, half, etc). We incorporate unique rules or stipulations to maximize growth, development and to create a perfectly balanced competitive environment.
> Mindset, Teamwork & Attitude are critical lessons. We emphasize team culture, respect & inclusion in a highly active and sportsmanship-centered competitive environment.
> Practices are COED but players are split by skill level. The goal is to maximize the opportunity for improvement by playing "up" and by playing "down". To be your best you need a mix of both, not always in a stretch environment, sometimes dominating. Also, parents should note the best GIRLS in high school, college & pro basketball played with the boys growing up. Get your girls past this issue of not wanting to play with boys or you are doing them a development disservice.
