Philosophy

VIJB was formed to give the children in our community, an opportunity to develop basketball skills, good sportsmanship and team competition. The program emphasizes basic basketball fundamentals with the goal of creating a quality learning experience for all participants. 

VBC & AAU Affiliation

VIJB has created VBC (Vashon Basketball Club) and joined forces with the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union).  Joining AAU will provide more options for players and coaches to build their skills year-round.  AAU is the premiere organization for amateur and youth sports across the country.

Our goal at VIJB and VBC is to build on this partnership and not only take advantage of current and future basketball tournaments held in Washington State, but also to plan our own AAU-approved tournament, which would bring in additional funding for our programs while helping our hometown retail business partners to grow.
