ABOUT US
WELCOME TO SANTA BARBARA YOUTH BASKETBALL
Prospects Basketball Association (PBA) is a California non-profit corporation pending 501(c)(3) approval. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, It was created to promote youth basketball by providing training, competition, mentorship, and educational opportunities to young athletes. It is the home of the Central Coast chapter of the nationally recognized Oakland Soldiers and the local-circuit PRO/SPECTS competition teams.
We welcome all levels of basketball experience to come and develop through the LevelUp basketball program designed by Darnell Campbell – and when ready our players are drafted onto PRO/SPECTS competition teams for local tournaments – and once they have proven their discipline, effort and skill, players can advance to the Central Coast Soldiers, representing the region at the AAU/Elite level.

We are currently offering programs for boys 3rd(9/U), 4th/5th(10/11U), 6th (12U), 7th/8th(13/14U), High School Teams(15/16/17U) and will expand into younger grades and girls programs soon.
If you are looking for a basketball club that focuses on elevating the potential of your athlete by valuing skills development on the court and character development off the court – come and see what we are all about.
We are currently assembling our PRO/SPECT and Central Coast Soldiers Winter Season Teams. This season runs December 2025 – March 2026.
