San Marcos Basketball has an A and a B team for each grade. The A team is usually a tournament team - they play in tournaments, local and travel tournaments. Getting into an A team is more difficult than joining the B team, as it requires more basketball skills.
The B team plays in local leagues such as Thrive SD and San Diego Sol.
