EASTBAY BULLDOGS BASKETBALL

Our Spring Session is over and the Summer Session is beginning now.  And we have a summer only special for you below.  With that in mind, if you signup now, you can start practicing with our summer teams this week at Harvest Park MS in Pleasanton and play games this weekend.  So, here are the 3 programs we are offering this Summer:

• Summer Club Teams - Our Summer Club team session is much like our Spring Session, 3 months long (June, July, Aug) with 2 practices a week (mainly Tues / Thurs, see calendar link to the left for the full practice sched) in Pleasanton and 8 to 10 league games in the Walnut Creek area.  The session is open to Boys and Girls, 2nd Grade to HS Varsity.  And as always, our focus will be on mastering fundamental skills taught with Motion Offense and Man to Man defense.   Skills are always more our focus than winning and losing.  We will have multiple teams at each grade level separated by skill level so there is room for all levels of player, from Beginner to Elite.  That said, this will be our most popular program and space will be limited so if your interested, don't delay.  Contact coach and get signed up now so you can start practicing this week if you like.
• ALPHA Elite - Our ALPHA program is our program for Boys, 2nd to 8th grade that are the more skilled players that are really committed to becoming the best basketball player they can become.  ALPHA is an 8 month program that includes our Spring, Summer and Fall sessions as well as some tournament play and extra practices over and above what our club teams do.  It also includes a special ALPHA Elite Tournament Uniform Package.  And even though our ALPHA teams were started in the spring, there is still room for good players to join us so if your interested, contact me right away. 
• Summer Skills Clinic - Our Summer Skills clinic is open to all, 1st grade to HS boys and girls.  At this program, we will focus on the individual skills that are tough to spend time on in a team environment but skills that all good players must master, dribbling, passing, shooting, rebounding and the transition game.  This program will be on Wednesday nights at Harvest Park MS from 6 to 7:15 PM from June 14 to Aug 16 (10 sessions, again, full schedule on the calendar link to the left).  Note this program is separate from our teams.  Players from teams all over the area join this program including many of our own players just to get the extra work. 

FYI, our summer practice schedule as well as the schedule for our Summer Skills Clinics are up on our website now.  So click the calendar link on the upper left side of this page to see how the schedule works for you. 

Anyway, if your interested in playing Summer with us or doing ALPHA or our Skills Clinics, send us an email now with your son or daughters name and what grade they are in now.  Do that and we will send you all the info about our summer program and information how to sign up.  When you send us an email, I will invite you out to practice to check out the program. FYI, the first official week of summer is this Tues / Thurs, June 6 & 8 at Harvest Park MS in Pleasanton (email me for exact times).  Shoot me an email and I will get you the details and invite you to bring your son or daughter out to try it out.  If you like it, you can register on the spot and start practicing immediately. 

That said, space is extremely limited so if you want to play, be prepared to register at practice.  Also, when we add you to our mailing list, you will not only get info about summer but also about any upcoming session or skills camp we may be running.  We are a year round program so if Summer doesn't work for you, maybe Fall or Winter will so get on the email list.  My email address is pgleclaire@comcast.net.  Keep in mind though, signups have begun and we are filling up fast.  So space is limited.  If you want to sign up, contact us right away and plan to be at practice ready to practice and sign up this week.

Thanks and I hope to see you all on the hardwood soon,

Coach LeClaire
