As a long time skills trainer, Coach RJ lamented the limitations of the traditional Club formula and inspired by the positive response from parents and young athletes to his innovative training methods, he set out to create something truly different and special.
Alamat is a Filipino word meaning Legends. And this precisely what Coach RJ is trying to do. Using this word as his guiding principle, he strives to use his decades of experience and wisdom to shape the future legends of BC basketball.

Alamat is proud to offer Training during the summer. This high intensity, drills and fundamentals focused training is one of a kind. We aim to help young athletes reach their potential in a short span, to enter the September Grind ready to aim for the highest peaks.
The summer training completely falls in line with out Core Philosophy of using drills, repetitions, and game sense as the foundation for young athletes to grow into their potential.
Our trainings occur every Tuesday and Friday in the summer months. There is NO COMMITMENT to join our club after summer training.
Alamat is more than a club, it's a family. We strive to foster a family like culture and environment, because we believe that chemistry off the court translates to on-court chemistry.
Team training is important in club, but we also believe that without skills/fundamentals training, there won't be enough building blocks for a strong foundation.
We are a small club and we aim to keep the rosters and training groups small. Across the teams we have, we aim to have a small group of players to foster greater chemistry.
