Fremont-Based, East Bay Families Welcome
Youth Basketball for Newark, Union City, Milpitas & Hayward Families
Silicon Valley Basketball Academy is based in Fremont, CA. We don’t have a gym in Newark, Union City, Milpitas, or Hayward — every session happens at one of six Fremont school sites. Families from all four cities already drive in for training, and this page is here to help you decide if that drive works for your family before you book anything.
No overselling: if you want a gym inside your own city limits, we’re not it. If you’re willing to drive into Fremont for real coaching, keep reading.
Where Training Happens
Our Fremont Venues
All SVBA training happens in Fremont, at six school sites. There is no second location closer to Newark, Union City, Milpitas, or Hayward — this is the full list.

- John M. Horner Middle
- Centerville Middle
- Thornton Middle
Which venue your athlete trains at depends on the program and age group — [WHICH VENUE HOSTS WHICH AGE GROUP / PROGRAM]. We’ll confirm the exact site when you register.

Know Before You Drive
What the Drive Looks Like, City by City
Each of these cities sits in a different spot relative to Fremont. Here’s what’s actually true for each one — not a copy-pasted paragraph with the city name swapped in.
01
Newark Families
Newark borders Fremont directly — it’s the only city on this page that shares a city line with Fremont rather than sitting a town away. For many Newark neighborhoods, getting to our venues doesn’t require getting on a freeway at all; it’s a surface-street trip via Fremont Blvd or Thornton Ave.

02
Union City Families
Union City sits just north of Fremont and Newark, along the I-880 / Union City Blvd corridor. It’s not adjacent to Fremont the way Newark is, so the trip typically means a short freeway or arterial run rather than a straight surface-street shot.

03
Milpitas Families
Milpitas is the only city on this page in a different county — it’s in Santa Clara County, not Alameda County like Fremont, Newark, Union City, and Hayward. Getting to our venues from Milpitas means crossing that county line, usually via I-880 or I-680.

04
Hayward Families
Hayward is the farthest north of the four cities on this page, past Union City on the I-880 corridor. It’s also the only one of these cities that isn’t a direct neighbor of Fremont or Newark — the drive down runs through Union City first.

Questions Before You Drive In
No. Every SVBA venue is in Fremont, CA. If you train with us, you’re driving to Fremont for every session.
That depends on your schedule and how far you are from Fremont. We’d rather you come to a free Sunday Scrimmage & Family Day first and judge for yourself than commit to a paid program sight unseen.
Yes — Sunday Scrimmage & Family Day, every Sunday 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at Thornton Middle in Fremont, is the lowest-commitment way to see how we coach.
[CARPOOL / TRANSPORTATION POLICY]
No. Age range (5–16), program pricing, and session sizes are the same regardless of which city you’re coming from. The only difference is your drive.
