PMA East Bay represents the next chapter in the continued growth and success of the PMA Knights, the original founding program based in Fairfield, California. Built on the same core values of discipline, teamwork, leadership, and community, PMA East Bay extends the mission of the Knights—empowering student-athletes to reach their highest potential both on and off the court.
As an official expansion of the founding PMA Knights organization, PMA East Bay brings the same trusted leadership, coaching excellence, and family-driven culture to athletes across the greater East Bay region. Led by Coaching Director Rob McCune and supported by a dedicated board and staff, PMA East Bay focuses on holistic player development, emphasizing character, academic achievement, and competitive excellence.
The program continues the proud legacy established by President Vincent Galbreath and the original PMA Knights leadership team—transforming what began as a small community initiative into one of Northern California’s most respected youth basketball organizations.
Together, PMA Knights and PMA East Bay embody a shared vision: to create opportunities for young athletes to grow through the game, build lifelong skills, and become leaders who carry the Knights’ winning spirit into every aspect of life.
