Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we train hard all year round and participate in basketball tournaments all year round.

Our basketball teams for boys and girls practice weekly at Eden Park Gym in San Elijo Hills, San Marcos, CA.

On average, the San Marcos Basketball teams play 2-3 games per weekend. We play in all local tournaments and leagues.

For-profit basketball clubs will charge you about four times more than our non-profit organization. Non-profit organizations' basketball programs are more accessible in terms of pricing because they are focused on supporting talented local players.

Another difference between non-profit basketball organizations and basketball clubs is that the first doesn't accept you in their teams to make a profit. Just like San Marcos Basketball, nonprofit sports organizations only accept you if your talent and skills are enough to play competitive basketball or if you are willing to learn and train hard with us.

Our tryouts are part of our regular practice and occur on Tuesdays or Thursdays. How this works is that you can join our basketball tryouts for free, come play basketball with us, and our coaches can ask you to come back for another tryout. Sometimes, they will tell you immediately if you made the team. Only kids prepared to play competitive basketball or in tournaments will make the teams.

To train with San Marcos Basketball, you have to be a maximum age of 13 - you have to be either in 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.

San Marcos Basketball has an A and a B team for each grade. The A team is usually a tournament team - they play in tournaments, local and travel tournaments. Getting into an A team is more difficult than joining the B team, as it requires more basketball skills.

The B team plays in local leagues such as Thrive SD and San Diego Sol.

The cost of practicing with San Marcos Basketball is $370 per season. Learn more on our pricing page.

Yes, our coaches will evaluate your basketball skills upon tryouts. If you are good enough to be able to hang on the teams and practices, our coaches will let you know right away. However, after being evaluated, our coaches sometimes call you back for another tryout.
