About the provider

California Bearcats Select has operated for over 17 years and is in its 16th year in club basketball in San Diego. Its mission is to enable young men and women to reach their full potential on and off the court. The leadership team includes Brenda Corsi, Co-Founder/Director; Brenda Corsi, Co-Founder / Director of Operations; and Bryan Branstetter, Director of Coaching HS. The program says California Select 16u are Champions at Double Pump Summer Tip Off, Lady Bearcats Fall 2021 Champions, and that it is considered the #1 youth basketball club in San Diego County.

Players are asked to commit to play all 3 seasons (Fall, Winter, and Spring). They will work around other sports, but CBC must be as or more important than the other sport(s). No player is allowed to play for another club basketball program unless that club team is a school team. If a player plays for a school team, CBC is always the priority and the player must request approval from CBC before playing with the school club team. Fees are approximately $200 per month for the 3-4 month season. Fees are non-refundable.
