About
Buzzardball Youth Basketball offers a winter basketball league, a summer basketball league, a summer basketball camp, and a Buzzardball Zoom camp. Participants take part in basketball practices and basketball games, as well as All-Star Thursday competitions and All-Star Friday games for the Buzzardball headband.
• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: Program activities are offered on various weekdays and weekends, including after-school and evening practices and Sunday games during the winter season.
Buzzardball Youth Basketball has run a Winter League for 20 years, a Summer Camp for 30 years, and a Summer League for 6 years, with the Summer Camp starting in 1994 and running 24 straight summers until the pandemic. The program ran a Buzzardball Zoom camp in 2020 and celebrated the camp’s 25th anniversary at Sport Courts Fitness in 2021, with 27 years of camps as of the stated Summer Camp statistics. One summer, Buzzardball featured a record 10 weeks of camps with 911 kids, and one Winter League season featured 93 teams and just over 950 kids.
The program is led by director and long-time coach Steve Buzzard, with additional leadership and contacts including Ab Alvarez, Don Roberson, Sunny Ransom, Pastor Jim Dorsey, Tabytha Wampler, Gursh Bagri, and Jacob Peterson. The mission statement says Buzzardball focuses on life skills such as sportsmanship, gamesmanship, respect, being a good teammate, and being a leader, with the motto: “Be a Good Sport, Play Hard, Have Fun, and always remember, IT'S JUST A GAME.” Buzzardball has partnerships with the Sacramento Kings and Jesuit High School and includes kids from the Greater Sacramento area and outlying areas such as Folsom, Davis, Elk Grove, Roseville, and Rocklin.
The Summer Camp focuses on the five basic basketball skills and divides campers into four different teams, with competitions on All-Star Thursday and games for the Buzzardball headband on All-Star Friday. The Winter League features an NBA feel with weekly standings, write-ups, and high-quality jerseys, and 3rd–8th graders play their championship game at Golden One Center, home of the Sacramento Kings. One participant and coach, Jake Harouni, describes Buzzardball as a friendly and welcoming environment and notes that his first time playing organized basketball was in Buzzardball, where he built fundamentals of the game while having a good time.
