Rising Stars offers a variety of instructional and training programs throughout the year for both teams and individuals.

Training Programs include private ( 1: 1), semi-private (2 to 3 people), group (4 or more), and teams.  These programs are designed to help individuals, and or teams, develop specific fundamental skills and show them how to apply them in game situations.  These skills will provide that extra advantage needed to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

  Programs are available for boys and girls from 3rd grade to the collegiate level. These programs are customized to the individual.

They combine travel team competition with personal evaluations and analysis of game play throughout the year. 

• All Rising Stars instructors and trainers have either played or coached at the college level and higher.


• All instructors and trainers are certified physical educators with a specialization in basketball.


• All instructors receive additional preparation and training by master clinicians with over 30 years of player development experience at the professional level.

The Rising Stars program has been proven to work for the past 25 years.  Each year Rising Stars players go on to excel at the high school level, and play at the collegiate level and higher, with some who have go on to the NBA and overseas.

Classes are held at the Buckley School on Long Island, or can be arranged at sites convenient to you.
