Our vision is for young athletes to embrace a culture of excellence and strive to create a positive impact in their communities, schools, and teams.

Just Us Basketball Program is not just a team; it is a family. We believe in creating a positive and inclusive environment where athletes can thrive both on and off the court. We encourage open communication and collaboration among athletes, parents, and coaches, fostering a sense of community that extends beyond the game.

Barkada + Just Us at Filipino Island Fest!

The Filipino Island Festival is BACK for its 2nd year—and you already know it’s about to be mas masarap, mas malakas, mas unforgettable!

📍 Saturday, October 4th
11AM – 8PM
📌 2151 Ferry Point, Alameda
💸 FREE ENTRY! (Yep, free! Just register 👉 filipinoislandfest.com)

Now imagine this:

  • 🎶 The rhythm of tinkling, Tagalog songs, and live bands shaking the island vibes.

  • 🍴 The smell of lumpia, lechon, and all the sizzling eats you can handle.

  • 🛍️ A marketplace with 100+ Filipino small businesses & artisans (aka the ultimate tita shopping paradise).

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 13,000+ people vibing together last year—and even more this year!

✨ And in the middle of all this magic… Barkada Basketball + Just Us Basketball will have a booth!

We’ll be slanging $5 Barkada Friendship Bracelets 💙🖤💛—the official wristband of hoop dreams, good vibes, and island community love. Wear one, and you’re officially part of the fam (bonus points if you buy two and match with your bestie).

So swing by, say hi, grab a bracelet (or three), and help us keep our kids hooping hard, dreaming big, and repping culture through Barkada Basketball.

See you at the festival, fam! ✌🏽
