Junior Saturday Domestic Program

 

The foundation of every Bayside Warrior journey.

Our Saturday Domestic Program is the starting point for most Bayside Warriors. Designed for boys and girls aged 6 to 18, it’s ideal for players who have progressed beyond Playball or school basketball and are ready for structured training and competitive team play.

​

We welcome players of all abilities. Most age groups field multiple teams, and players are placed based on age, skill level, and team balance to ensure the best developmental fit.

​

Program Highlights

  • Weekly 90-minute training sessions with professional coaches

  • Saturday games in local domestic competitions

  • Teams grouped by age, skill, and development needs

  • Pathway to Representative Development

  • Positive, structured, and inclusive environment

This is where real basketball begins — with team structure, steady improvement, and a community that supports every player’s growth.
