EBC HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM LETTER
Spring/Summer 2026 Season
We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming EBC High School Boys’ and Girls’ Spring/Summer Season!
Our program is designed to provide competitive play, skill development, and collegiate recruiting opportunities, all within the positive, team-oriented environment that defines the EBC family.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The season detailed below runs from March through July with no events scheduled in June to allow for high school basketball participation.
Each high school team will compete in a structured and competitive spring/summer season that includes weekly practices, local and/or travel tournaments, and consistent player development.
We’re committed to helping athletes grow both on and off the court through quality coaching, strong competition, and a program structure that supports high school athletes as they prepare for the next level.
This season, we’re also thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with Fan Day Nation - a platform that helps athletes enhance their recruiting presence through brand building and personalized media tools.
(This will be an optional add-on. More details on this partnership are included at the end of this letter.)
All athletes will also receive access to SportsRecruits, a college recruiting platform, and discounted private training packages.
