The East Bay waves are an elite AAU basketball program in the San Ramon, Dublin, and Pleasanton areas. With our coaching staff consisting of former Division 1 basketball players, we are fortunate to give the kids the very best training in the area.

About the Program

Many clubs & coaches only recruit and work with the “best” and “top talents” to solidify their reputation. We work with the players of all levels. We are not looking for the next one, we develop. If you want your child to maximize his/her true potential whether he/she is the top talent or just a beginner, catch the (East Bay) Waves. If you don’t have the skills to play on a competitive level, we can help if you are willing to put in the work and buy into the process. If you are seeking for the highest competition and looking to keep getting better, our coaches’ have years of experiences and knowledge from the college & professional basketball and will guide you to the next level. This program is for players and parents that are looking for something more, and looking to be a part of something different that promotes positive growth.

Program Structure

We have different levels of teams to fit the kids with different experiences and skill levels. The number of games each team would play depends on the length of the season.

Travel Team (advanced level, 5th grade - high school): practice 3 times a week and participate in the weekend tournaments throughout the season for 18+ games. Some games are out of town and do require overnight staying. Playing time has to be earned.

Premier Team (intermediate level, 3rd grade - high school): practice 3 times a week and participate in the weekend tournaments throughout the season for 14+ games. Playing time has to be earned.

Elite Team (novice level, 2nd grade - high school): practice 2 times a week and participate in the weekend tournaments throughout the season for 10+ games. Not totally equal playing time, but each player would get his/her fair opportunity.

Competitive Team (entry level, 2nd-8th grade): practice 2 times a week and will not participate in any tournament to focus on fundamentals building and skills training
