Frequently Asked Questions
What do we offer?
WORKOUTS - Our workouts emphasize conditioning, fundamentals and teamwork. Jogging and shooting around is not enough to get into "basketball shape".
SCRIMMAGES - We continually look for local teams to scrimmage against. This builds team chemistry and timing, as well as another opportunity to apply what the individual players have learned.
LEAGUE - In the spring we plan to join the Walnut Creek Spring League. Try outs are in February and games begin in March. In the summer we join the Pleasanton Summer League. Try outs begin in May and games begin in June.
TOURNAMENTS - We participate in several bay area tournaments throughout the year. We have also run 3-4 tournaments in Pleasanton in the past.
INDIVIDUAL SKILLS IMPROVEMENT - For players who want to improve specific skills, a skills assessment package and individual coaching are also available.
How much does it cost?
COST - The cost of almost every game, scrimmage, etc. is $15. Workouts and trainings are $20 per session. We also offer discounted monthly packages as well as discounted season packages (email bayareaargonauts@yahoo.com to find out more details). We prefer cash, check or money order. We also accept PayPal but there is a 3% fee. For example if you want to pay for a tournament game through PayPal, you must add $0.45 (3% of $15) So your total would be $15.45.
