About Us
SouthTown All-Stars Basketball Club
The SouthTown All-Stars Travel Basketball Club was formed to fill a void left by other programs that chose not to play competitive basketball in the spring session. Our belief is that some of the best basketball is played in the spring, during AAU season. AAU tournaments are the Gold Standard of competitive youth sporting events. Playing AAU travel basketball is a major commitment for both players and their families. Players are required to practice more and the practices are more intense. Families might be required to travel farther than they were accustomed to in Rec. Leagues. The competition can range from average to outstanding. Our teams will be tested in some of the most competitive tournaments in the Midwest.
Practices are the foundation of the SouthTown All-Stars program, NOT Game Playing Minutes, the only way to truly improve as a player or team is to work harder in practice than you will need to in a game. In practices teams develop chemistry and camaraderie and develop the confidence to excel on the court. A player’s ability to execute the offensive and defensive schemes of our program will have a direct correlation to his practice habits.
Let me make this very clear, SouthTown All-Stars Basketball Travel Club is a Performance Based Program. A player’s game playing time will be determined by the following factors:
PRACTICE HARD + EXECUTE WELL + GOOD ATTITUDE = MORE PLAYING TIME
We are preparing our players to play basketball at the highest levels in high school. Our players will focus on the fundamental building blocks; Footwork, Ball Handling, Shooting and Positioning. They will work harder than they have before in any other sports program, but they will LOVE IT.
We can’t wait to see the results of their hard work and dedication.
