About Us

NorCal Rush was founded in 2017 by Zac Levine with just one team and has since grown to 300+ players, 20+ teams, and 10+ staff members. NorCal Rush (or “Rush”) is one of the largest youth basketball clubs in the Bay Area with players traveling from Los Altos all the way to San Francisco to participate in our programs. We at NorCal Rush Basketball are dedicated to producing high caliber players while ensuring that we continue to make basketball a fun & memorable experience.

NorCal Rush Basketball is based on the Peninsula in the Bay Area, but has expanded to offer San Francisco programs beginning in 2025. Our goal is to provide competitive basketball for players on the Peninsula and prepare players for high school basketball and beyond, while also challenging them to rise above when they face adversity (on and off the floor). We at NorCal Rush look to maximize our players potential through competitive games and scrimmages.

Since founding, NorCal Rush Basketball has had elite players from all over the Peninsula. NorCal Rush focuses on fielding some of the most competitive teams in the area as well as fielding developmental teams to give everyone an opportunity to get better.

NorCal Rush is widely regarded as one of the Peninsula’s premier programs. We are looking to build this reputation into the city as we expand our program in 2025!

Each year we have high school basketball players playing in the PAL, WCAL, BCL, and other neighboring leagues. Our athletes are consistently placed at all levels of high school basketball.

In addition to over 50 Bay Area high schools, we have had college athletes at the following schools:

• Princeton University

• Johns Hopkins University

• UCLA (soccer)

• University of Oklahoma (baseball)

• Chapman University

• San Diego State University

• Columbia University
