Spring 2025 Tryouts

We are thrilled to announce details for the upcoming Spring 2025 basketball season! At EBC Training Centers, we pride ourselves on developing well-rounded athletes by focusing on skill development, teamwork, and fostering a love for the game. Our experienced coaching staff is dedicated to helping each player reach their full potential, both on and off the court. By joining EBC, your athlete will become part of a community that emphasizes hard work, discipline, and growth.

Why Choose EBC?

At EBC, we understand that selecting the right basketball program for your athlete is an important decision. Here’s why families consistently choose EBC and why we’ve become a trusted home for young athletes:

· Team Practices: Each season includes 2-3 weekly practices that are thoughtfully designed to improve both individual skills and team dynamics. Our practices are structured, engaging, and purpose-driven to help athletes thrive.

· Game Experience: Players will participate in approximately 24 games, providing invaluable real-time learning opportunities and fostering a competitive spirit.

· Weekly Team Member-Only Classes: Exclusive training sessions led by top-notch coaches like Nick Crossan, Aaron Nettles, and Allen Tate. This weekly class is designed to give athletes an edge, focusing on advanced skills and techniques.

· Quality Coaching: Our highly skilled coaching staff brings a wealth of experience, passion, and commitment to developing young athletes. We don’t just teach basketball—we mentor and inspire. View our tentative spring team coaching assignments here.

· Consistent Scheduling: Say goodbye to the uncertainty of fluctuating practice times. EBC is one of the only AAU programs that offers locked-in weekday practice schedules for the entire season, thanks to our home base, state-of-the-art facility. This consistency helps families plan their lives with ease.

· Focused Development: Whether your athlete is a beginner or an advanced player, our program is tailored to meet them where they are and help them reach new heights. We emphasize growth in all areas of the game, ensuring a well-rounded development experience. Additionally, athletes can sign up for private training sessions at a discounted rate as part of their team membership.

D-League Development Program

For players who do not make an AAU team after tryouts or for those who prefer a more beginner level-development-focused environment, our D-League is a perfect option. This season, we’re introducing a new model:

· Practice/Skill Work: First 30 minutes

· Team Scrimmages: One hour of game play following practice

· Schedule: Sundays only (schedules to be announced)

After the first week of the season, players will be divided into teams, providing more opportunities for competitive scrimmages while continuing to build their basketball fundamentals. We’re excited to bring game play into the D-League experience!

D-League Pricing:

$275 registration

$250 monthly (Season runs March 10th through though July 17th)

The Tryout Process

1. Register for Tryouts: Complete your registration online.

2. Attend Tryouts: Showcase your skills during the tryout sessions.

3. Team Selection: Players will receive either an invitation to join an AAU team or an invitation to join D-League. Families will have 24 hours to accept their team spot.

4. Season Begins: Practices officially kick off on March 10th.

Our Focus: Fundamental Foundations

This spring, our program will emphasize Fundamental Foundations. Whether in AAU practices or D-League sessions, athletes will focus on mastering the core skills of basketball—dribbling, shooting, passing, defense, and teamwork. These principles are key to every player’s success and growth.

Spring 2025 Program Enhancements

We’re excited to share some new enhancements for this spring season:

· Collaborative 7th and 8th Grade Practices: Once a week, our 7th Blue and 8th Blue teams will practice together, as will the 7th White and 8th White teams. This collaborative practice model, in addition to regular age-group practices, will allow players to push each other in a more dynamic environment, fostering advanced skill development and team synergy.

· Partnership with a Speed and Strength Company: We’ve partnered with a reputable and proven speed and strength company to offer our athletes access to performance training outside of EBC. This partnership provides discounted rates for our members, giving athletes the opportunity to enhance their athleticism with trusted professionals.

· EBC Family Week: To kick off the season, we’re hosting a special week dedicated to building our community and celebrating the start of a new journey. From April 3rd through April 7th, athletes will participate in activities like team-building exercises, hear from inspirational speakers and special guests, and engage in life lessons that go beyond the court.

Team Member Commitment

As an EBC team member, we ask that athletes and families prioritize EBC events, including practices and games. Commitment to your team is essential for the success and development of both the individual player and the group as a whole. Your dedication ensures a cohesive and supportive environment where athletes can grow together, build strong relationships, and achieve their goals
