STARS Basketball Club

2024 SOUTH - Early Winter D-League

6TH - 8TH BOYS

STARS Basketball Club will be hosting the D-LEAGUE in November and December on Friday evenings for “FREE AGENT” players (*sign-up individually)! This league targets those athletes who just missed making their middle school basketball team. This is a terrific opportunity for middle school boys to:

  • Get in the Gym
  • Receive Quality Game Reps
  • Compete
  • Improve

This league will follow the same format as our very successful Summer and Fall Youth Leagues, which featured over 300 middle school athletes! Players will sign up individually and then be placed on a team. A STARS Coach will be assigned to each team. This is a games’ only league – no weekly practices. Every player will receive a STARS jersey which will be collected after the last game.

STARS Coaches will teach and stress basketball concepts weekly:

 

 

  • Defensive stance and positioning
  • Communication on defense
  • Good spacing / ball movement / good shot selection
  • Sprinting the court (offensive and defensive transition)
  • Compete EVERY possession – 100% effort

WE CAN ONLY ACCOMMODATE 80 PLAYERS - SIGN UP EARLY! REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 28
