Hello,
Has anyone had any experience with the summer Youth Basketball League at
the YMCA in Oakland? The league runs from June 13 through August 31 this
year. It sounds like it would be fun activity for my 12 year old daughter
who needs more playing time.
Are there any other summer basketball leagues out there worth mentioning?
Thank you.

Check out Jadafly- Really well run, great environment and led by a
private middle school director. http://www.jadafly.com/ Lori
If you are willing to drive thru the tunnel, ASA Basketball (check
them out on the web) does an excellent job of individual skill
development. They are very different from other programs because
their main focus is skills. They play in the MVP Flight league in
Walnut Creek/Concord but have a rather unorthodox approach to games.
They treat games as ''live'' practice and each possession is
considered a drill. They sub constantly and expect each player to go
100% for two minutes. They never scrimmage at practice, they rotate
drills for the entire time. The program has grown so much they may
have separate practices and teams for girls, but in the past, girls
just played with the boys. They are now taking sign ups for summer
and fall ball. Definitely worth investigating if her goal is to be a
better player.

Looking for recommendation for basketball team/league for 8
year old in Oakland/Berkeley area....for 2010 winter season
after school/weekends. Also interested if anyone has any
experience with Jadafly League in Oakland?
My son loved playing in Rick Slettedahl's classes and
leagues at the Calvary Church in Berkeley and at University
Village in Albany, starting at age 9 or so and then on and
off through 8th grade. Rick has years of experience with
kids of all kinds and knows how to organize games and foster
sportsmanship without killing the competitive spirit. He has
a bunch of great coaches who work with him in the league. It
has a nice community feeling and the kids learn all the
necessary skills and strategies. Check out his website:

Hi, My 3rd grade son loves basketball. He wants to play on
a team not take classes or go to a drop in/non-competitive
league. We are looking for a league where he can play on a
basketball team. Any suggestions? Thanks Rochelle
Hi Rochelle,
I am the director of Jadafly Basketball Academy that
operates in Oakland. We are a year-round program for k-12th
grade. We have teams that represent Jadafly in the MVP
Flight league this fall. We are in the registration process
for our own winter league that is starting Nov 1.
One unique feature about Jadafly Basketball is that I will
donate 10% of registration fees back to your school's
athletic program.
In addition, we offer camps during winter and spring breaks.
You can find more information at www.jadafly.com. If you
want, you can check out a practice for our 3rd/4th grade
fall league team. Send me an email to arrange a visit.
See you on the court!

The City of Piedmont recreation dept runs basketball classes
for kids. My son did this last year. They have a kid-sized
court they use. The cost is very reasonable and it's low-key
and fun.

My 16 year old daughter wants to work out with a personal
basketball coach once or twice a week after
school/weekends. She is a serious player and wants to play
on a good team above and beyond her small private high
school this year. Any coaches in the East Bay area?
charlotte
I'm sure there are many good coaches in the area, but here is an
alternative that worked for my daughter. We contacted the UC assistant
soccer coach, whom we knew through soccer camp, and asked if there
were any players that would be interested in working one-on-one with
my daughter. There were, and my daughter met with 2 wonderful women
over a few months who helped her to improve her game.
worth a try
My son loves to play basketball and I highly recommend Triple Threat
Academy. The founders Tony and Lou are great. Like all great coaches
they don't just teach basketball but also talk to the kids about life
skills, manners and really get the kids thinking. Their Basketball
workouts are intense and designed to take any level player to the next
level. They offer group, semi-private and private workouts. You can
find more info at www.triplethreatonline.com

I have a 6 year old boy who is not at all interested in team
sports like soccer or t-ball, but that may be because he
thinks it will be too hard for him, or because he's never
really done it much before. It seems like most of the boys
in his kindergarten class last year were involved in both of
these sports, and I worry that he will not fit in, or that
he will not have the skills needed to be part of the sports
later on if he chooses. So I'm wondering if I should push
him to sign up for at least one of these, just to give it a
try, or if I should not worry about it and let him decide
when to play.
He has tried gymnastics, but was not too interested in that.
The martial arts are another possibility, and we haven't
tried that yet. Mostly he just wants to play his own games!
So if anyone has any ideas about a program that might work
for a boy like this, please let me know. Thank You
I really like Rick Slettedahl's basketball program at
www.webasketball.net I'm not sure if he starts at 6 years
old, though he does have basketball hoops that are lower for
the younger kids. He teaches the basics of the sport, how
to pivot, where to aim on the backboard, and I find that a
nice place for a child who is lacking sports confidence. He
also focuses on the social and team aspect of the sport,
which is character building. That said, some kids just
don't do team sports, and individual sports may be more
where your child will have success... mom of boys

Since my wife got pregnant my exercise habits and basketball
skills have gone the way of the dinosaurs. My daughter's
now 2 and I'm ready to get back out on the B- Ball court. I
played basketball for my high school and recreationally
through college and beyond. Before my wife got pregnant I
was playing b-ball in SF with some buddies one to two times
a week, but those guys have moved away and the wife and I
moved to Oakland. Three years have gone by and now I'm 37
and not as skilled, spry or in shape as I once was. I'm not
interested in getting into fist fights or getting dunked on
all day by 19 year old junior college dropouts, I just want
a mellow, competitive, fun weekly game. Anyway, does anyone
have a suggestion of a friendly weekly evening or weekend
pick-up basketball game, ideally at a gym, in or around the
Piedmont/Montclair/Rockridge area? What about a nearby 35
and over basketball league? I'm willing to drive to
Berkeley or other parts of Oakland if it's worth the effort.
Thanks,
My 38-year old husband likes to make it to the weekly men's
basketball game at our church when he can. Monday evenings
at 7:30 at First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley (at Dana &
Channing, parking available). There's a blurb at the bottom
of this page:
http://www.fpcberkeley.org/adultmensministries.asp
Just grown men shooting hoops. I think they normally play
several games and mix up teams as needed. Could be just the
mellow game you are looking for
April 2010
Are there any all day camps for 15 y o teens that are either ONLY
swimming, or ONLY basket ball (or swimming AND basketball!!)?
My son generally has never liked typical camps that do a variety of
activities. However, he loves basketball and I think would do well
at a camp that pretty much does b-ball skills all day,
OR...as a late swimmer, a camp that is pretty much just...learning
to and improving swimming skills.
Thanks for any ideas.

I have a recommendation for the best basketball camp ever. It is in
San Francisco/Marin/South Bay though. It is called Legarza Basketball.
http://www.legarzabasketball.org/ This camp is amazing. The counselors
are great - super enthusiastic, polite, friendly, structured,
inspirational. The camp has a slightly religious bent, being based in
Christianity, but we are atheists and didn't feel offended at all by
the inspirational fliers that got sent home. In fact, they were very
inspirational! This camp is in a class of its own. It's the type of
camp you always wanted, with caring enthusiastic counselors who are in
it because they love working with kids. They get the kids really
excited about basketball. They pump the kids up, no matter their
ability. Really, to watch it--it's enough to bring tears to your
eyes. Highly recommended. Check it out.

1. UC Berkeley Cal Athletics has gender and age-based summer camps
in individual sports--including basketball and swimming. Their
camps tend to be at the main Cal campus' athletic facilities. Their
web site: https://calcamps.berkeley.edu/Default.aspx
2. Cal Recreational Sports runs the Cal Youth Camps (for ages up to
16 years) that has specialty camps, skateboarding, gymnastics, the
multi-activity ''Blue'' camps, rock climbing, sailing, social skills,
science and sports, leadership training, etc. Many of their camps
are at the very top of Dwight Way, on Sports Lane. Their web site:
http://calbears.berkeley.edu/youth/index.aspx
For the life of me, I have never been able to figure out the
difference between these two camps' respective sponsoring
organizations (Cal Athletics versus Cal Recreational Sports): they
are ultimately both run by UCB. Check them out: both are great.

Our 5th grade son attended Ryan Freed's basketball camp in
February and had a great time. It was a perfect mix between
instruction and games. As an experienced youth sports
coach, I appreciated the way that Ryan was able to inspire
the kids to improve and how much fun he created. Ryan is
an excellent teacher of the game of basketball. He is
hosting another basketball camp in Oakland April 5-9. For
more information on this and other Freed Athletics camps,

I have a tall, soon to be 8 year old, boy who loves to shoot baskets in the
driveway and I'm trying to find a Basketball League in the North
Oakland/Temescal area. Heard a lot about CYO from friends in the North Bay
and that seems like a great option. What experiences have people had with Oakland
CYO? What
about YMCA kids leagues? Has anyone had good luck with
that? I actually heard a discouraging story about similar aged, very talented, kid
playing at the Y on a league team. At the start of the
season this young boy was totally psyched to join his first team but after an
entire season of running up and down the court and not once being passed the
ball in a game he was completely demoralized and swore he never wanted to go
back. This is my nightmare! I just want a gentle introduction to the game for
my son, just like the wonderful, nurturing experience we've had with Rockridge
Soccer. Any ideas?

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a basketball class or
league for a 7-yr old -- either fall or winter? My son is developing
an obsession but it's surprisingly hard to find one. All the posts I
found were for summer camps. Thanks.
Sam
My almost 7 year old is also obsessed with basketball. I noticed that The Bladium in
Alameda has a ''league'' for 7 year olds but we haven't tried it.
There was a Father-Son 24-hour basketball camp at St Mary's a few weekends ago -
hubby and son went and really enjoyed it. You might want to check on action like
that too.
Best hoop wishes!

Check out University Village; their basketball program is great,
reasonably priced, and starts in October.

This is a fabulously run basketball camp. The coaches are
enthusiastic, friendly, and the kids have a blast. They give out
t shirts and basketballs to every camper. They are inspirational
with regards to team building, positive thinking, and general
sportsmanship. We loved this camp. It takes place in San Francisco.
Check them out.

Hi parents,
My 12 y.o. son plays lots of competitive basketball and is
looking for a good skills camp this summer. Ideally it is
located in the East Bay (but Lamorinda is okay too), is not super
expensive, has lots of good competitive skills instruction but is
still fun (no yelling, trash talking, etc). Lots of structure
and a good adult:kid ratio are also important. Last thing -- he
is guard/small forward and a position-specific camp would be
great. He tried the Albany village camp a few years ago and did
not like the large amount of time spent playing games (not
basketball). Although he is young, he is very focused on
improving his skills and does not need a
we-just-want-everyone-to-learn-to-love-the-game type camp. He
already loves the game and wants to get better at it. He doesn't
want to feel like he's in boot camp, but he doesn't want to feel
like he's wasting his time either. Does anyone know of a camp
that is fun and focused at the same time?
Basketball mom
There is a great basketball camp in the summer at Salesian High
School in Richmond. The head coach of the high school varsity
team runs the camp and many of the JV and varsity players
are 'counselors'. The ratio of campers to counselors is great,
plus the campers get to meet high school players and learn from
them and spend time with them. My son loved it. It's very
affordable too - I don't know what the current price is, but you
can check out Salesian's whole summer program at their website:

There is a weekly basketball camp at Salesian High School for
4th-8th graders starting 6/16 and running for 4 consecutive
weeks. The staff includes current Salesian High players as
well as visiting coaches and guest speakers. My 11 year old
will be going for the first time this year, but I heard about
it from an acquaintance who said his son loved it last year.

The St. Mary's basketball camps might be more what your son has
in mind. Check out their boys basketball camps page here:

Good luck.
I know you mentioned not liking the program at University Village.
However there are
2 programs there. Kids' Corner camp is not the program I send my son to
for
basketball. There is a camp that is 100% basketball there, and my son
has greatly
enjoyed it and really advanced his skills. It is only available for a
couple of weeks. Last
summer my 12 year old did both the morning and afternoon sessions of
basketball
and came home pretty tired. You can get more info from the coach's
website: http://webasketball.net/camps.htm

Has anyone had recent experience with the basketball summer
camp offered by the UC Berkeley athletic department? I'm
interested in it for an 8yr old, and a 12 yr old boy. They
play in basketball leagues, but I'm hoping that the camp isn't
too competitive. Also, 9:30am -3:30pm seems like a long day of
just basketball.
If you have had a boy that has gone to this camp, or have any
advice about basketball camps, I would appreciate it.
BB Mom
BB Mom,
My son went last summer as an 8 year old and absolutely loved it. I
too thought it sounded like a looong day of 100% basketball, but
apparently not. He wants to go for both sessions this year.
Also, my son loves basketball but is by no means the next Baron
Davis, so although it may be intense it is not overly
competitive. The only downside to the program that I saw was
driving to the campus every day (I live in So. Berkeley) but
other than that it was great.

for boys entering High School.

Salesian High School has a summer basketball camp for kids
at their campus in Richmond. It is run by Bill Mellis, a
highly respected basketball coach. The Salesian team just
won the North Coast Section championship on Saturday! I
know the camp is for all skill levels and has sessions for
about a month, which you can sign up for on a weekly
basis. You can call the school at 510-234-4433 and ask
for a brochure.

I'm looking for a competitive basketball league for girls, either all-girl
or co-ed. My daughter is 12 and plays on her middle school team, but they
don't have much funding, so coaching staff is made up of volunteers with
limited time. She'd really like to improve her skills and level of play.
Does anyone know of any leagues, preferably in the Berkeley area? We'll
travel if needed. Thanks!

I'm looking for summer basketball camps for both my 7 y.o. son
and 9 y.o. daughter (will be 8 and 10 by summer). I checked the
archives and plenty were listed but none were really ''reviewed''
either positively or negatively. Can anyone comment on their
experiences with Cal (Ben Braun camp and/or girls camp), Albany
Village or Warriors summer basketball camps? In particular, was
it hard to get in (did you have apply really early)? Did your
kid learn a lot? Was it fun? What is your assessment of the
competition vs. teamwork aspects of the camp? Any other
recommendations in the East Bay? Thanks!
D. M
My daughter, now 14, has been playing basketball for 4 years,
recreationally and competitively, and has gone to many
basketball camps. For the most part, she's preferred all-girls
camps to coed camps although she thought the Warriors basketball
camp was fun. She says it's a good camp to develop some skills
for kids starting out. I think they tend to fill up early.
Another great camp to develop skills are the Holy Names Hoops
camps that Steve Spencer runs at Holy Names College in Oakland.
They alternate girls-only weeks with boys-only weeks. Call 436-
1584. They don't even publish their brochure until spring break
but then they fill up pretty fast. My daughter thinks that
Caren Horstenmeyer's Girls Basketball Camp at Cal is really good
for kids who want to work a little harder & develop their skills
more. It's usually held the 3rd week in June. (Go to
www.oski.org & look under Athletic Camps.) One program we
haven't tried but is well-regarded by a coach friend of ours is
Excel in Basketball in Contra Costa county. Contact Brian
Sullivan at 925-798-6502. One program we didn't like, but that
other people think is a good one for working on fundamentals, is
Super Skills Basketball camp. My daughter thought it was
grueling, humiliating and punitive. We don't have
any experience with the Albany camps. Good luck!
Basketball mom
My son liked the Cal Basketball camp, which he did the last two
summers. He found it fun, and I think he gained some skills. However,
I'm not thrilled with either the cost or the drop-off/pick-up logistics. When
he was 8 or 9 we tried the camp at St. Mary's High School in Berkeley.
He didn't love it, but I believe that's because it was more drill-oriented. I
think now that he's 12 he might like it much more. Last summer he did
the Salesian High School camp and loved it. It seems to be a good
combination of drills, games, and fun. However, the location is terrible
for us (Salesian is in Richmond/San Pablo). Both St. Mary's and
Salesian are slow to get their programs organized. I'm planning to call
both in the next few weeks to see if they have decided on schedules and
costs. Both are much less costly than Cal, but I don't think they offer
extended care for working parents (though I don't know for sure).
Maria
My son has attended both the Albany Village and the Cal
Basketball camps. He did a 2 day Warriors camp over Winter
break. Only the Warriors camp required an especially early
enrollment, and all were fun for him. (He's 12 now - he's done
the Cal camp for the past 4 years, and the other two just this
past year.)
He did learn some specific basketball skills, especially at Cal
Camp, but also at Alb. Village. He thought the Warriors camp
was disorganized, and the kids were mostly on their own just
playing the game. He is looking forward to signing up for Cal
Camp again this year - his 5th year there!

I checked the UC parents website and couldn't find much about
anywhere to go for good instruction on basketball for my 7 yr.
old daughter. She is enrolled at Cal for the 1 week coach's
camp, but in the meantime, she wants to play somewhere. Either
a group, league, or drop-in on a regular basis would be great-
I'd like to keep her enthusiasm going. I live in El Cerrito and
work in Oakland, somewhere near either location would be ideal.
I also know it's kind of off-season right now, but maybe there's
something out there?

Hi-the Albany Y has a wonderful girls basketball program which
my two girls (8 yrs. old) loved! I believe the girls program is
over now, but basketball at the Y continues with a coed class
which I am sure is equally wonderful although I have no personal
experience with it. Also, check out the UC University Village
Rec. Center in Albany - some good basketball there as well. Have
fun!

Check out the Berkeley YMCA. They are doing a spring Basketball
program on Saturdays. Sign up starts March 15th. If I remember
correctly it included a separate time for Girl's BBall. My
sons - age 5 and 7 greatly enjoyed the Winter BBall program
there.

The Albany Y has a girls' basketball league for practice & play,
but it
just ended and now they're onto the co-ed league. It might not be
too late
to join - you could call and ask. Definitely keep the girls
league in mind
for next winter, though, because it's very fun and not
intimidating. Plus,
the kids love Don, the league instructor/coach. They also have a
girls
sports camp, in which all sorts of sports are played, but
basketball is one
of the main sports, so that might be good. I was just looking at
the info
on the
website, which is www.baymca.org.

My daughter just finished a girls basketbal session at Albany
YMCA. It is a wonderful fun program that they have been doing for
years. My older daughter attended years before. They have just
started a co-ed session with the same coach. I think it is
3rd-5th graders but if your daughter has experience and they have
space it might work. My daughter was 8 with no experience and
loved it. It is Tues & Thurs afternoon practices usually 3:30 -
4:40 and games on Fridays at 6 or 7

My 13 yr old son has gone to the Cal Coaches Basketball camp at U.C.
Berkeley and has
enjoyed it a lot. It is a very large group of kids so it can be a bit
intimidating, ,but
they have alot of staff - Cal students and assistant coaches. I bet several
of them would
be Spanish speaking. You can call the UC Basketball office to get more
info. Can also
call Cal Youth SPorts or Cal Adventures to find out the right office and
contact person
for sign-ups. I also recently get a brochure for the Warriors basketball
camp. Friends
of my son did this camp last years and liked.it. They meet at the Warriors
new practice
facility in downtown Oakland. Robin

Does anyone know about basketball leagues or clubs in
Berkeley/Oakland? My son is finishing his middle school basketball
season, probably won't be able to be on a high school team, but would
like to continue playing.
To the Person who wanted information on basketball leagues:
The city of Berkeley sponsors what is called "Twilight League" on Friday
nights. There is also a local AAU basketball organization called Slam 'N Jam.
Some of their teams are very high level (i.e. the players are potential
Division I College Recruits. I believe they also sponsor teams that you can
simply sign up for. City of El Cerrito has a very good youth basketball
program, but I'm not sure if it continues through high-school age. Also
berkeley YMCA has Open Gym for basketball a couple of times a week--for pickup
games.
