              Welcome to B3 Elite Basketball

 

Welcome  to the homepage of B3 Elite Basketball. B3 Elite is a youth basketball developmental program located in Visalia, California in the central valley. B3 Elite has been established by two childhood friends Sam Bruce and John Bynum who grew up together. Both enjoyed athletics growing up and wanted to give back to their community in a positive way. B3 Elite's programs vary from one on one training, leagues, summer traveling basketball, camps, coaching clinics, tournaments, and open gym for many athletes around Tulare County. B3 is a great opportunity and will continue to extend its hand to youth of the central section with many events planned for the future.
