ABOUT SAN DIEGO PBC
SINCE 2002.
More than two decades of developing players, and partnering with the families who trust us with them.
HOW PBC STARTED
OUR STORY
In 2002, Coach Brooks Barnhard started PBC with a simple idea: professional training plus competitive games. He brought what he learned playing at the University of San Diego and professionally in Spain, Portugal and France. That same idea runs Game Night today.
In April 2006, PBC launched its first competitive club team in North County, coached by Rob Oribello. Twenty years later, Coach Rob is still with PBC. The goal hasn't changed since: build players who love to compete, know the fundamentals, and carry strong character into high school and beyond.
Today PBC runs club teams in San Diego and Escondido, plus Game Night training for grades 1-8. Families are the lifeblood of all of it.
