Summer Programs

The Shooting Star Summer program in conjunction with Coach Kendrick Basketball World will be providing enhanced opportunities for basketball players from the Valley to play summer basketball. This will involve the pooling of resources and expanded summers programs.

We will have three female teams and three male teams, U14, U16, U18. If interests is significant enough then we may consider adding U 14 teams. With six summer teams we are giving opportunities for coaches to coach teams. Coach Kendrick will oversee the coaches and their activities.

Pat Havard will be coming on board to coach the 18U women's team. Pat is currently the assistant for the Acadia Women. See bio. Coach Tim Kendrick will be leading the boys side of the equation. Coach Kendrick has 20 plus years of experience, with provincial titles and National Team experience and won a silver medal at the most recent Canada Games.

Try outs for the teams will be on April 23, 30 and May 1 , 2011 at Avonview High School. For more info click here

Each team will play in local games and travel. Since these are summer teams travel is required in order to get sufficient competition.

Coaching and Summer Jobs
Shooting Star hires summer students to assist with coaching. Each year we try to hire CIS players, last year Jeremy Dunn was hired. Jeremy plays for St. FX. If you are a collegiate player at any level and are interested in a Summer Position please contact Tim Nickerson. As well, if you are a volunteer coach and would like more experience and training contact Tim right away as we are slotting coaches into positions.
