Vista Talons is a competitive, AAU basketball program intended for boys (grades 3rd – 8th) who plan to attend Vista del Lago High School in Folsom, CA.  Our goal is for each player to develop with a high-level of proficiency – the fundamentals of basketball (passing, shooting, dribbling, rebounding, defense, etc.) while learning the core principles of the high school's offensive and defensive schemes.

Our sister program for the girls is Lady Talons.
