2024 Summer League Teams
(Competing in FRA Summer League & BGA Legends League)
LEAGUE / TEAM INFO
STARS Basketball will be hosting tryouts on May 12th and May 19th (see tryout times based on grade/gender below) for STARS Teams that will be competing in the FRA Performance League (Franklin Road Academy) and BGA Legends League (Battle Ground Academy)
FRA Performance League (Rising 4th – 6th Girls; Rising 3rd – 5th Boys)
BGA Legends League (Rising 6th Boys)
Compared to other STARS teams (Spring and Winter), summer teams represent the lowest commitment of time from a family/athlete’s perspective. Participation in a Summer League with STARS allows your athlete to get in the gym consistently twice a week for approximately 8 weeks (1 CONSISTENT weeknight for a game; 1 CONSISTENT practice night). The current plan is for STARS Teams to start practices the week of May 27th. With summer travel, out-of-town camps, etc., we expect players to miss practices/games from time-to-time; this is expected and OK.

STARS WILL FORM TEAMS FOR:
- BOYS (Rising 3rd grade through Rising 6th grade) Based on rising grade (2024-2025 school year)
- GIRLS (Rising 4th grade through Rising 6th grade) Based on rising grade (2024-2025 school year)
- The number of teams formed within each gender/grade, will be based on number of athletes at tryouts/talent level
- Boys: 1 – 3 teams / grade
- Girls: 1 team / grade
- 9 – 10 players per team
With summer travel, out-of-town camps, etc., we expect players to miss practices/games from time to time; this is expected and OK.
*NOTE: Due to league options being limited and also the quality of teams within a league being so varied/diverse for rising 7th and 8th grade boys and girls, we will NOT be forming teams/hosting tryouts for rising 7th/8th Boys and Girls. We do not see enough benefit for those players based on the current environment. See additional game/league opportunities for these age groups by clicking HERE.
