From the seasoned pro and college veterans looking to enhance their basketball skills to the promising young athletes seeking to catch the eye of one of the many fans and scouts in the stands, the San Francisco Bay Area Pro-Am Summer Basketball League provides an excellent opportunity for male and female players, coaches, officials, and attendees to mix and have fun in a quality event during the Summer months. Opportunity is the operative word, as countless number of opportunities abound in the league, from being free to the public to receiving an invitation to play in a pro setting to being surrounded by friends in the stands and on the court.
This forum has proven to be quite a bargain for scores of Bay Area hoop fanatics and their families, particularly those who could not attend or afford a local college or pro game during their respective seasons. The league is due to the support of the SF Recreation & Park Department’s summer programming, allowing Bay Area fans to witness this event and watch these past, present, and future legends exhibit their talent. This league has been organized, for over 40 years, with the concept that the league would add to the quality of life in the Bay Area and provide an alternative for family fun during the Summer months.
Both the men’s and women’s Leagues are represented by a few current and past National or International pros, current & past college, and a few high school and recreation players. There are no league tryouts, as each team has an open roster policy for new additions at any time during the season if that coach wishes to add players.
