An evolutionary, results-based, training and mentoring program of study. Trainees are developed and led along the pathway to mastering the skills, techniques and fundamentals of basketball.

It isn’t the individual with the most talent or the best physical attributes who ends up ultimately achieving fame and fortune. Likewise, it's not always the child that shows the most promise who ends up excelling in life.

 

Talent, promise, intellect and physical gifts are nothing without a comprehensive action plan and a consistent training program with a focus on mastering the basics. Repetition is the “mother of skill” so long as those repetitions are being done the proper way. Excellence is not random or accidental!

 

The principles taught within Sterling Stars Basketball Academy work and will have a long-lasting impact on your child, FAR beyond the game of basketball. “Let’s chart the course NOW for the BEST COLLEGES, BEST BUSINESSES, BEST ATHLETES, THE BEST LEGACIES… EVER!” We, here at Sterling Stars Basketball Academy develop stars on and off the court!

Why train with

Sterling Stars Basketball Academy?

Sterling Stars Basketball Academy is designed to coach, train, mentor and advance trainees to the highest level of proficiency and mastery in basketball skills, techniques and fundamentals.

 

Our holistic approach focuses on building the trainees’ physical characteristics of strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, body and spatial awareness and balance. Trainees will also develop the important mental characteristics of discipline, patience, humility, self-control, perseverance, concentration and respect.

 

Demonstrated proficiency of our Program of Study (POS) will enhance the performance of trainees in their chosen sports, as well as other endeavors that challenge the mind, require cognitive development, increase learning capacity and improve brain function and critical thinking skills like academics, the arts, technology and other disciplines.

How does the POS work?

  All trainees will begin their training at "Achievement Level 1 - High School Junior Varsity."

Trainees will undergo the rigors of the POS and will train and progress at their own rate, in accordance with their own desire and ability.

 

As trainees progress through the POS, honing and perfecting their physical and mental abilities, they will be selected to "test up" by passing SKILLS LEVEL TRAINING EXAMS working their way through nine ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS. As trainees advance, they are rewarded according to their level of growth in knowledge and proficiency.
