Development League

EBC Development League

The EBC Development League is the perfect opportunity for players who do not make an AAU team or those seeking a more beginner-friendly, development-focused basketball experience. This season, we’re introducing an updated format that enhances skill-building while increasing gameplay opportunities.

Program Highlights:

🏀 Balanced Training & Competition – Each session includes 30 minutes of skill work followed by one hour of structured scrimmages.

📅 Simplified Scheduling – No weekday practices; all sessions take place on Sundays.

🎯 Team Placement After Week 3 – Players are grouped into teams to ensure competitive and developmental growth.

🏆 Season-End Tournament & Awards – Players will compete in a final tournament, with special recognition for the top five most improved athletes.

D-League Pricing:

💰 $275 Registration Fee

💰 $250 Monthly Fee (Season runs March 16 – July 13)

Tryout Process & Enrollment Options:

✅ Skip Tryouts & Sign Up Directly! Players who already know they want to join D-League can register immediately without attending tryouts.

🏀 Tryout for AAU Teams – If you’d like to try out for an AAU team first, register for tryouts. Players who do not make an AAU team will automatically receive a D-League invitation.

📅 Team Selection – If invited to D-League after tryouts, families will have 24 hours to accept their team spot.

🚀 Season Begins – Practices officially start on March 16.

Team Structure Update

Originally, we planned to assign players to fixed teams, but to avoid last-minute adjustments due to potential conflicts or absences, we’ve decided to mix teams each week. This approach allows players to:
✅ Learn how to play with different teammates
✅ Build new relationships
✅ Stay competitive
✅ Have fun while developing their game

Important Reminder:

When you receive your jersey, please wear it EVERY Sunday!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We are looking forward to a fantastic season ahead!
