2023 Summer League Teams

(Competing in BGA & FRA Summer Leagues)

League/Team Info:

STARS Basketball will be hosting tryouts on May 14th and May 21st for STARS Teams that will be competing in area summer leagues!  STARS will form teams for: Rising 3rd through Rising 8th Grade Boys and Rising 4th through 8th Grade Girls (2023-2024 school year). Plan is to form two teams per grade for most age groups.

 

Team size: 9 – 10 players per team

 

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 28th. With summer travel, out-of-town camps, etc., we expect players to miss practices/games from time-to-time; this is expected and OK. 

 

As we have coaches/friends/contacts at both Franklin Road Academy and Battle Ground Academy, we will place teams in both the FRA PERFORMANCE LEAGUE and the BGA LEGENDS LEAGUE.  Both leagues feature “one game a week (weeknight games)” and our STARS teams will practice evening per week.
