Reach Basketball and Intellifilm Partner-Up

Hello Reach Families!
 
Reach Basketball is proud to announce our newest sponsor, Intellifilm.  Reach Basketball and Intellifilm have partnered to raise money in support of “Title 1” schools.  Title 1 schools are in low income areas and in the past have relied on funding by the public school system to enable its students to participate in Reach Basketball camps and leagues.  This year, economic hardship has forced the school districts to eliminate funding completely.  As it stands, over 200 children will be affected.  Please help an under privileged child continue his/her “Hoop Dreams”.

Intellifilm will be donating 10% of all sales from this program to Reach Basketball, to ensure that Title 1 students are able to participate in Reach Basketball’s amazing basketball camps and leagues.  Funds are needed for everything from jerseys and shoes, to coaches and staff.  Intellifilm sells and installs 3M's window films for homes, businesses and autos.  They will offer a 20% discount to all of Reach Basketball's members and supporters.  Intellifilm will also be featured on the TV show “Better Arizona” on Channel 5 today, 12/2, at 10AM. 

To find out more about Intellifilm and 3M window film, please go to www.IntellifilmAZ.com/ReachBasketball or call them directly at 480-320-FILM (3456).  Together, we can make a difference.

Thanks,
Coach Rodger

The Arizona All-Stars Basketball Concept Works with Existing Club Teams

A new team concept has been introduced to Arizona called the Arizona All-Stars Basketball Virtual Club Team.  It is a collaborative youth basketball initiative consisting of elite players from multiple basketball programs who are given the opportunity to temporarily play together in local, regional and national tournaments.

It is a virtual team concept designed not to conflict with the players current club team program, but instead, to enhance the participating coach's club team programs' offerings and their player's basketball experience by occasionally playing with some of the top youth basketball talent in the area.

Designed primarily as a supplement to already established club teams, academies and training programs who have coaches and elite players looking for additional play experience in an All-Star team environment, the public at large is also encouraged to participate.  The website is www.ArizonaAllstarsBasketball.com.

Arizona All-Stars and K-9 Basketball Create Joint-Venture: The K9/All-Stars

The Arizona All-Stars Youth Basketball Club System and the K-9 Basketball Academy have teamed up to form an elite squad of youth basketball players that will concentrate primarily on playing in the local area's top tournaments.  The merger will focus on combining the best players from both systems to challenge Arizona's existing top youth baskeball club teams.   

As the level of participation rises in Arizona's competitive youth basketball community, more youth club teams are being created to address the popularity of basketball club competition that is taking place throughout the entire state of Arizona.   With this growth, a clear distinction is taking place between the average teams and the more advanced level of play club teams.

With the multiple tournaments taking place throughout the state, more often than not, the winners of these tournaments usually turn out to be the same few teams who dominate the field.  In order to create more top tier local competiton, the K9/All-Stars initiative will give many of the best players in the state the opportunity to play more often together and against the state's traditional dominant teams.

At the end of the day, traveling outside of Arizona in order to play against the best competiton will not necessarily be a must since the top level of competition will be right here in the neighborhood.  The hope is that the K9/All-Star merger will motivate other organizations to also create elite teams so that Arizona conitnues to grow in reputation as a youth basketball center for both multiple talented players and teams.
