Upward Stars Basketball: Expecting 500 athletes at Tryouts!


Recommended Posts

MEMO:  Upward Stars Basketball (SPRING TRAVEL/TOURNAMENT TEAMS - TRYOUT REGISTRATION IS OPEN!)

 

Upward Stars is blessed and excited to enter our fourth season of forming teams for the spring/early summer tournament circuit!  After forming 25 teams this past spring (19 in Williamson County; 6 in NORTH Nashville), Upward Stars plans on forming 30-32 teams for spring, 2017.  Current plans include forming 20-22 teams based in Williamson County and 10 teams based in NORTH Nashville (Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, Gallatin, Madison, and surrounding communities)!  

 

We are very excited about the structure for teams this spring!  Teams will practice twice a week through the week of April 17th.  Beginning the week of April 24th, each team will practice once a week and also attend a shooting/skills' clinic weekly.  During the week of spring break, we will also be hosting shooting/skills' clinics for those athletes that are in town.  Therefore, athletes will be on the court twice a week (March-May), in addition to tournament play.  Some of our Premier Teams will play into July, specifically a few of our high school teams that will be participating in NCAA "Live Period" events.

    • Why would the tax payers be responsible for paying for only a coach? In recent years with all the theft from various programs in schools from different programs with booster clubs (not just sports) the State of TN has made alot of rules surrounding booster clubs and how they handle money.  I have two documents to review, 1 is 40 pages from the state comptroller and the other is 37 pages from my district, so I can consider starting a booster club for my middle school program. It has been too much trouble in the past for the other coaches.  There is no way there needs to be an adult in the school building for 7 hours a day with no responsibilities except coaching. 
    • The only thing that was said at half time of the 45-0 game was Coach Story, he said: "I know y'all have been out there a lot, but kick-off team, y'all need to get down there faster!" Then he and the other coaches proceeded to go into the coaches office and we all went nuts!  It was the only time I can ever remember coaches not saying anything at half time. Definitely a great memory!!!
    • Boyd could actually be a grade below what he is now, but his parents didn't see the need to "redshirt" him like the other city school down the road would have pushed for....
