2024/25 Competitive Team & AAU Players

Our community’s basketball-focused players train weekly, year-round at our local school gyms in our
BC Intense Development program directed by Duke Legend

Christian Laettner

The BC IDP investment is $150/mo. Developing players with experience and advanced players train weekly in the pool and the top evaluated players are invited to play on competitive teams in local and travel AAU tournaments.

BCE Activities are set up ala carte based on the particular team configuration. In addition to league activities, a team could play in 2-10 tournaments starting in Spring and Summer. Based on team goals and performance a team’s AAU season may extend well into the Summer.

BC IDP is a month-to-month commitment, not yearly or seasonally and is NOT pay-to-play.

If you have/are an athletically gifted or experienced basketball player and would like to play on one of these competitive AAU squads, fill out our player info form below:
