Club/Travel Teams Forming - Upward Stars


Recommended Posts

Upward Stars is forming club/travel basketball teams in the greater Nashville area for current 6th-10th grade boys.  Upward Stars has an intentional focus of developing each player mentally, athletically, spiritually, and socially. 

 

Since the birth of Upward Stars in 2012 (SC and NC), the organization has experienced much success with club teams and athletes:

  • Travel teams have won 11 MAJOR Tournaments
  • Over 40 college scholarship offers
  • 17 players received Division I or II commitments
  • Two players were invited to the NBA Top 100 Camp
  • A Premiere Stars Team was ranked in the top 25 by Five Stars Basketball

Our goal is to provide quality basketball instruction/coaching and to mentor young men, building athletes of strong character, self-esteem, confidence, and spirit.  Each coach has been certified by Upward Stars.  Also, our entire coaching staff is comprised of current high school/middle school coaches and/or former college athletes.

    • Tough situation.  Not sure the ROI is there right now.   Might be better options that are cheaper.
    • Yeah summer ball is really fun, but a lot of coaches are trying to play several kids to get much needed reps that they are not accustomed to. I would imagine Gibson County will have lots of players playing to get much needed reps. Want to win games but got to get experience as well and the rotation will be much deeper. I will be at MTSU, UTM Bethel and others. MTSU is the one I really look forward to.
    • So who are the new additions to the staff? Serious answers only please. 
    • Its always interested to see the state teams the following summer after losing or not losing seniors and getting freshman and transfers. It's almost time.
    • Maryville has Alcoa on the schedule at the right time of the season which helped last year instead of at the first of the year not knowing much. West will be hard pressed to repeat this year but next will be a different story.
