BULLDAWGS BASKETBALL CLUB

My Story

The BullDawgs are a year round program that was created to help basketball players improve their basketball skills and gain playing experience at an advanced and challenging level. The emphasis of the program is to foster an environment where academic excellence is encouraged and expected and individual skill development is achieved. Our goal at BullDawgs Basketball is to provide our youth in the Bay Area/Peninsula with a wholesome avenue for positive personal development by promoting academics and physical activity and to recognizing their dedication and achievements through basketball. BullDawgs Basketball offers the opportunity to build self-esteem and sportsmanship while learning the fundamentals of basketball. ​​The BullDawgs Basketball Club, coaches and players are members of the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union). The AAU is one of the largest sports organizations in the United States. The difference between AAU basketball and other basketball leagues is based on the use of full high school rules. No developmental limitations are placed on the game such as participation and no-press/fast-break rules. This promotes competitive play and the broadest exposure to fundamentals and advanced techniques of the game. We will base our roster on grade versus age based. Current players of teams moving up will be given 1st consideration during tryouts. Prior commitment, attended practices and tournaments will also play a factor in the final roster. We are not a recreational team. The teams are composed of 9-11 Boys and Girls that love basketball and who want to develop their skills and understanding of the game. All emphasis will be on basic fundamental skills and team work. We emphasize development of the individual player. Every effort will be made to ensure players have an opportunity to demonstrate their basketball abilities during the tryout period and will be evaluated on as ball handling, shooting, and passing along with demonstrating a positive attitude, work ethic, knowledge of the game and satisfactory academic performance. If a player does not make one of the teams, they are encouraged to continue to develop their abilities and try out again in the future.​ President/Head Coach Tournaments Director Alfonso Joo email: [email protected] Asst Tournaments Director Billy Tornay email: [email protected] ​ Boys/Girls Director Eric Williams email: [email protected] Boys Asst Director Tournament Staff Director Stevie Joo email: [email protected] ​Coaches Alfonso Joo Billy Tornay Eric Williams Stevie Joo Erin Joo ​Vange Chau Iz Fructuoso Ali Westbrook Don Codding Victor Sobrepena Jeremy Alonzo Trainers Renee Robinson Stevie Joo Staff ​Jenna Yee Jade Castro Geena Giovanetti Marinel Alcantara ​Kevin Matsukura Nicole Mcdonald Team Managers: Girls 3rd Girls: TBA 4th Girls: Janet Blecha 5th Girls: Mercedes Echon 7th Girls: Liza Salise 8th Girls: Reid Yanabu HS Girls: Elaine You Team Managers: Boys 5th Boys: TBA ​7th Boys: Stevie Joo JV Boys : Jeremy Alonzo HS Boys: TBA
