Upward Stars recently decided to launch a 7th grade boys' team based out of Lebanon.  This team will play in five basketball tournaments (March-April).   A tryout for this team is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 16th, from 6:30 to 7:30, at Friendship Christian School, Lebanon.   For more information on this team and for the "tryout registration link," click here (and scroll to the bottom of the web page).   Call Lance Akridge at 864-237-2317 for more info.

 

Upward Stars Snapshot:  The goal of Upward Stars is to provide quality basketball instruction/coaching and to mentor young men/women, building athletes of strong character, self-esteem, confidence, and spirit.    You can learn more about Upward Stars by watching the short "Williamson Sportslight" video produced by the williamson source (five minutes).  You can also click here for a new video - Upward Stars' Overview.

 

Upward Stars experienced much success in 2014, our initial season in Nashville!  Over 250 different athletes were involved with Upward Stars through spring travel/tournament teams, clinics, academies, and fall tournament teams.   We expect more growth in 2015 as we will be forming 18-20 teams for spring/early summer tournament action in the Nashville area.   Upward Stars-Nashville will host tryouts for male and female athletes beginning on Feb. 14:   Boys - 4th through 11th grade;  Girls - 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.    All tryout information/details for these teams are on our website.

 

We have assembled a fantastic coaching staff of 24 certified leaders.  All of our leaders currently serve as college graduate assistant coaches (Belmont University), high school, or middle school coaches and/or played basketball collegiately.  You can find "Bio" information for each coach on our website.

      I used to think like that many many moons ago.  I wondered the same questions but learned that it is just not that easy.  Hiring assistant coaches can be complicated at times.  It takes a few years for HC’s to get who they feel is right for their system.  Couple that with good assistant coaches getting better jobs at times and leaving your program. More to it than some think.  I think you have a good coach up there and time will tell that story.

      okay.  Like i said initially, it's question we have to ask, but we sure don't know the answer yet.

      You’re right, I shouldn’t jump the gun on it. Hopefully it isn’t related to the sports programs, because it’ll end up affecting a lot of innocent kids who just enjoy playing sports.

      I totally agree but just don’t want to see people jumping the gun by insinuating it was for athletic reasons. Nobody knows at the moment except for those involved in the incident itself and those investigating.

      Trouble retaining players

      Bruh, That portion of the post was simply a product of my imagination. Try to keep up.  The real purpose of the post was to rub salt in this fresh wound following FF’s departure to BGA.
