MBR Basketball
Club is an independent club program
with affiliations with AAU, YBOA, Reebok, and
other groups who run tournaments. MBR runs
tournaments and basketball events in Maine in
conjunction with the Southern Maine Sportszone
state-wide ..
We will have teams
for boys and girls teams. We believe in
practicing to become better and in finding the
right tournaments. That means exposure
tournaments for recruitable athletes
and quality, positive instruction and competition for all teams.
Many teams
prefer to remain independent. We encourage you
to contact us. You can benefit by using us as a
resource; insurance issues, game and
practice schedules, tournaments, and any any
other questions. We are about creating
positive opportunities for Maine players
MBR takes 11th

ADVICE
to HS players:
If you will be
entering your junior or senior year, the
decisions you make are important for your
development and recruiting.
- DO NOT let someone talk you into playing. High
pressure from adults can lead to negative
results
- Ask about the philosophy, who's coaching,
their background, experience and level of
success.
- How often will your team practice, will they
work around your school sports and summer HS
program
- Ask for a list of former players, both good
and bad experiences..
- YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO TO DIFFERENT
PRACTICES AND TO FIND THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU.
meaning, even though you may have succumbed to a
sales pitch, you are not committed ( attached )
to a team until the first sanctioned tourney
ADVICE to
all AAU
coaches:
- Instruction is key at all age groups
- There's a better, more cost effective
alternative to all the same local aau tourneys.
That is scrimmaging. MBR will roll out a new
feature to help teams connect. Save your
money for state tourneys or out of state
experiences..
