Bald Eagle is Different


Great players are made deliberately. Every Bald Eagle program — AAU, Sports Performance, and Camp — builds the whole athlete: skill, basketball IQ, performance, and character, through PCA-certified coaching and a tiered development system. We train for longevity, protecting both the body and the love of the game, so family time and a lasting passion for basketball matter as much as the scoreboard.

What Parents Should Be Looking For To Evaluate The Quality Of A Basketball Club


Websites and inflated coach profiles can be deceiving. Do you know what to look for in a coach and club? You are investing big to play AAU but dollar amounts do not guarantee quality or proper development. Coach Bob serves parents of any club by outlining a process to take a sober evaluation of any coach or club to see if they are a joke or the real thing.

  • Tim Inman

    My daughter loves Bald Eagle! Fun and positive environment. Great coaches, too.

  • Andrew Laffoon

    Bald Eagle Growth League is epic! My 10yo son absolutely loved his experience. The coaching is excellent, which massively accelerated his development in basketball.
