Philosophy
Our goal is to consistently provide a focused, structured learning
environment while instilling passion, work ethic and skill to our
basketball community. We will do this through all that we do
including all facets of our instruction: at camp, at our events and
our products.
History Since 1966, no organization has had a bigger impact on the
sport. Five-Star has more graduates playing college or pro ball
than any other organization out there. More than 400 Five-Star
participants have played in the NBA and dozens in various women's
pro leagues such as the WNBA.
Five-Star is most proud of the opportunity to work with players and
raise their game to their highest level. This has enabled tens of
thousands of Five-Star participants to play basketball in college
and beyond.
