| What do you think; a smackdown between Basketball BC U17 and Drive U17, who’s going to win? Both look equally impressive! |

It is not necessary....or it should not be necessary to have a smackdown.
Clubs should feed their players in to BBC for Nationals, while BBC needs to accommodate club training and tournament schedules. An increasing number of players are trained at clubs yet still want to play for BBC. But the competing schedules (not to mention academic commitments for kids) make it hard to play both at the zone level and impossible at the provincial level as it stands.
I think the zone coaches are doing as much as they can to balance the training needs of both teams, but the system is going to crack. |

| How many of the Drive players would have made the BBC team? The mix of the BBC team looks pretty good and they seem to have gone with a quick, athletic mix as well as a lot of players who have been teammates before and team chemistry is really important as we all know. BBC had their tryout dates set a long time ago so I wonder why Drive held theirs at the same time. Also, as student athletes, if the players haven't learned to manage their academic responsibilities by now I doubt they ever will. The Drive team looks solid too and it's great all of these kids get a chance to play even though not all can wear their Provinces colours. |

| Is Basketball BC any different than a club team? They charge just as much as any club teams. The only differences are they have the right to bring a team to the national championship and they carry the name BC. If they truly wanted to represent BC and attract all the best players, make it free. Otherwise, they’re really just a club team. That begs the question, what gives them the right to bring their team to the national? Why not have a playoff at the end of July among all the clubs, Basketball BC included, and the winner goes to the national championship. |

| Basketball BC has endured so many years in which the current coaches of some clubs have played/participated. In what way it is fair to ask BBC to accommodate to clubs schedules? What if tomorrow another 10 more clubs sprouts and Does it mean BBC have to yield to them also?? |

I think BBC should make their tryouts free, but the cost of being on a Provincial team is great for what you get. A lot of the cost is subsidized. A few years ago the cost was around a thousand dollars, which covered all the tournaments and travel to them (Las Vegas, Gonzaga, Nationals, Seattle, etc.) and the equipment you got. I know Gonzaga Team Camp for a player to go for a club team usually costs about $350.00-$400.00 alone... The cost of actually being on the Provincial team if you make it is great.
I don't agree that they should have to compete for a spot at Nationals. They're the team that represents the Province, they were put in place to do just that.
All this being said, there are only 12 spots on each Provincial team, so having clubs running and expanding throughout the rest of the Province is a great thing for basketball within in BC. |

A few years ago on their website it said somewhere around 1250-1300, I know that for sure. But like I said that was a few years ago.
EDIT: From what I can see on their site, it's 1400 for U17's, 1700 for U16's, 1100-1250 for U15's, and 1050 for U14's. Plus additional costs for food, however the fine print does get ya with an "additional costs for transportation, accommodation, and food will be the responsibility of the individual participants." I don't know how much the "additional costs" are, though.
I think all the clubs are great, maybe start one in my area soon, but I also think what Basketball BC does is great, albeit it could be run slightly differently with a little less expensive (maybe free at the U14 and U15 levels?) tryout. |

| I got the $2300 from their website as well under the invitees list. It said for those that made the team, the fee is $2300 for the program. Of course the list is not there anymore. The interest for club teams is on the rise. The trend seems to be moving toward schools having their own club teams. The money is there! |

| The price is $1400 for players on the u17 team. They must have messed up on the website or something.
And BBC absolutely does not and should not have to play other club teams for a spot at nationals. BBC has been around for half a century, how long have all the other club programs been around for? .......enough said. |
