 WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU BEGIN PAYING YOUR FEES IMMEDIATELY. AAU HAS STARTED. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE BEHIND OR LEFT OUT.

Tryouts are each week during practice for evaluation and will be continued thru-out the season as needed. You will need your $35 dollar Try-out fee. On being selected to the team please see Joining The Stars section of this webpage. FEES can and will be adjusted by the staff according to team need and circumstance.

Do not delay on getting your fees to the table as that will delay the tournaments you can attend.

Minor Events are Sacrificed for the Majors, and will not be set in stone. It will be word of mouth or text agreement. Or if moneys permit. Scrimmage games against any talent or age is always possible. The more we play the better.

These two trips are the biggest on the agenda. To get the most out of this summer basketball these are our focus. They are expensive trips. Try our 20/20 Fundraiser for assistance. Some will shy away from the trips and others will shy away from the fundraiser. But it can be done. 

Rick Bolus, High Potential Basketball Blue Chip camp directer has set the dates needed to fill programs, dorm assignments, meal assignments, class room activity rotations, staffing per camper count, etc. In order to give you the best camp quality possible and continue to have a successful experience, the camp registration deadlines have been set. 

If you have not consistently made mention of your intention to go and do not have the fees this Saturday in practice, YOU ARE NOT GOING. 
If you are not going to the camp, please handle your balance in order to continue with the Chicago Stars Summer activities which includes NBA camps, personal training, scrimmages, games, etc.

Those going will need basketball shorts for 5 days. 2 pair of Shoes. Pack light. Only a small bag is needed. No video game consoles or alarm clocks. No tablets. $15 to rent clean washed bedding for twin bed on campus. $10 for key deposit. $10 for extra shirt if needed. Hygiene items. There is a coin-washer and dryer in the dorm house. 

It would be fine to show up at 3812 w 86th place before midnight. We will be on the road around 3am. Each night at 11:00 your phones will be turned in to Coach T. You will get them back at breakfast. You are to conduct yourself accordingly. Lets have fun. 

WE HUSTLE FROM TIP TO BUZZER...DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS...ITS NOT YOUR TWO POINTS, ITS OUR 2 POINTS.
ITS NOT YOUR GAME, ITS OUR GAME. ITS NOT YOUR POSITION ITS OUR POSITION. ITS NOT YOUR BASKETBALL ITS OUR BASKETBALL.

And We will be Champions Again and Again and Again.
