The Saints Basketball Club Organization

The Saints Basketball Club Organization is a “COMPETITIVE BASKETBALL CLUB” created in the summer of 2003 with the expectation of developing competitive teams.   They focus on player development, fundamentals and taking players to the next level. Whether that is aspiring to play in the NBA, receiving a scholarship to participate in NCAA or NAIA basketball or simply making their High School or Junior High basketball team.

Founded and developed by Phil Williams "Coach Phil", Coach Phil's goal was to develop a Club Basketball program where a few select, talented players have the opportunity to learn from proven experience and knowledge. What he didn't expect was the amount of attention and desire the San Jose, California area youth's have shown him in a short period of time about playing for his growing club.

Coach Phil's desire is to help his players grow mentally, physically and emotionally into aspiring young adults.  Today, the Saints Basketball Club staff has provided grassroots exposure for high school athletes to college coaches at NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA schools.  Their ELITE travel teams, year round training program, showcases, and team tournaments are all used to provide players with top-level exposure and/or instruction.

The Saints will be conducting tryouts for boys and girls ages 8 - 17 who are willing to be committed to a year-round basketball program.  Tryouts will begin the week of January 17, 2011 and practice will begin in February 2011.  Competitive play begins in March and will continue throughout August.
