Bald Eagle AAU Basketball Program

Tryout for our Spring AAU Teams!

Jan 4th and Jan 11th 

Los Altos High School  

Teams will be formed for all grade levels 2nd/3rd all the way up to 8th grade. 

Bald Eagle AAU Basketball is renown for high level, quality coaching.  

We do things differently here.  We are all about Developing Complete Players.

Players will be trained and taught the right way to play the game of basketball and will be more passionate and inspired because of our teamwork system and coach training. 

We are not the typical AAU club that predominantly trains players in 1v1 moves.  We believe that is ridiculous and youth should be taught the entire game and proper principles used by the high school coaches.  

We are opposed to, and so should every parent who wants their player to develop properly, the 1v5 offensive approach of most of the bigger more prominent AAU clubs.  Know what you are looking for and don't get sold on marketing and names.  

Ask why these big "important" local based clubs are NOT COMPETITIVE at the National Level.  The answer they won't give you is "coaching".  

BALD EAGLE AAU serves players from all across the Bay Area. Our focus is on PURE DEVELOPMENT of their skills, game concepts, mindset & attitude towards greatness on the court and in life. 

We emphasize positive feedback from PRO Coaches who live at a high standard of character and personal excellence. 

Players in our AAU Program receive perks no other club can offer including special access to extra gym time and various elite facilities, not to mention training and development through our larger BASKETBALL CLUB concept.  

We believe youth should be multi-sport athletes through high school and we are opposed to sport specialization through middle school.  That said, some players call basketball their primary sport and want year-round opportunities to become Elite players.  We offer pathways to both types of athletes. 

We offer flexible opportunities for beginner to elite players to play basketball year-round.  We offer consistent, exceptional coaching and facilities regardless of player commitment level.  

BALD EAGLE BASKETBALL CLUB and AAU team programs are designed to hit the "high quality experience" mark where most other AAU programs are more focused on winning and revenues rather than what is best for a childs development. 

We prioritize teaching, development, & teamwork while building a passion and love for the game of basketball.  

Our program is built and managed by Coach Bob McFarlane, an award winning community leader named by the PCA as a Development Zone Leadership Fellow for building quality programs that exude a safe and encouraging, yet competitive environment.

TRYOUTS for our SPRING 2026 AAU teams

BASKETBALL CLUB PHILOSOPHY

Bald Eagle Basketball Club puts an emphasis on DEVELOPMENT & BUILDING PASSION for basketball.  We serve a large basketball community with programs for Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced & Elite. We are excited to have you be a part of it and to see your child become an excellent basketball player with a love of the game. 

We live in a world with busy kids with sports seasons overlapping, but Bald Eagle wants to serve everyone we can.  As numbers dictate, we will offer our Ballers Regional AAU team to serve players who want to improve but may have multi-sport/other conflicts.  

Our belief strategy dictates a larger roster of players to allow flexibility, and tournament play will be on a "first to commit" basis.  This allows families with lots of conflicts to still participate. 

We will also offer Practice Only spots on this team for players who are unavailable to play at all on any weekend due to other sport conflicts.

All program placements and designations are intended to maximize the growth opportunity in basketball no matter the degree of commitment.

BALD EAGLE AAU TEAMS and the BALD EAGLE BASKETBALL CLUB serve boys and girls from 2nd grade to 8th grade with programs from beginner to Elite. 

Players need to bring their own filled water bottles to all practice and game events.
