About
Southern California CAVS Youth Basketball Program offers youth basketball training, basketball tournaments, travel team basketball, in-state tournaments, out-of-state travel games, and high-level, advanced tournaments. The program includes both CAVS Select Team and CAVS Elite Travel Team leagues, with players competing in tournaments at different levels of play. Defense is a central focus, and opponents face constant full-court pressure in games.
• Ages: 5–17 years old
Founded in 1988, Southern California CAVS Youth Basketball Program is a competitive, year-round basketball program that focuses on player development, fundamentals, and making every player in the program a better basketball player. It welcomes boys and girls and describes itself as Southern California's Premier Organization and Class of California for 30 years, and as one of the longest-tenured and most respected premier programs in the state. The program states that it is the home of champions (both boys and girls) ages 7–14, with some players as young as 6 who can handle the program, and that even the youngest kids play up in game competition to improve their skills.
The program offers two league levels of high-quality youth basketball training. The CAVS Select Team league provides elite, next-level training for beginning basketball players or those from recreational park teams, and Select team members compete in moderate to intermediate in-state tournaments and an out-of-state travel game at the end of the season. The CAVS Elite Travel Team league provides elite, intense, high-level training for more advanced players, and Elite team members travel often and consistently compete in high-level, advanced tournaments both in-state and out-of-state.
The program states that defense is the key to CAVS success, that opponents face constant full-court pressure, and that teams consistently defeat bigger and stronger teams because defense wins. It uses basketball as a vehicle to help players grow on and off the court and builds a sense of structure in youth. It describes itself as a family and as a healthy, drama-free environment.
Southern California CAVS Youth Basketball Program lists its foundation points as Dedication, Loyalty, Hard Work, Pride, Teaching of the Fundamentals, Commitment, and Sportsmanship. Its mottos are “Preparation For The Next Level” and “We Defend To The End.” The program states that CAVS Program Leaders have the ability and knowledge to help get players to whatever level of basketball the player wants to achieve, and that using the CAVS system they guarantee each kid in the program will become a better basketball player and be equipped with necessary tools to succeed on and off the court.
The program reports a very successful track record in multiple age divisions. It states that players from the program have played key roles on high school varsity basketball teams, have received scholarships to universities, and have become coaches and professional athletes. It also reports that the majority of players in all divisions hold grade-point averages of 3.0 or above.
Southern California CAVS Youth Basketball Program states that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, color or sex. It also states that most importantly, CAVS who spend time in the program become responsible, productive members of the community. Interested participants can contact the program for a free evaluation, and a tryout option is available.
