WELCOME
OHIO RISING STARS, in cooperation with NEXT STEP BASKETBALL CLINICS, is dedicated to making your son or daughter the best player they can be. Our program is a level above because we focus not only on game tactics, but all fundamental skills: shooting, dribbling, passing, ball handling, defense, etc. We then offer opportunities for players to use those skills in game situations with our club teams.
We have dedicated and experienced high
school coaches that have had success at every level, but more importantly these coaches have helped countless basketball players become better people. With a positive and encouraging atmosphere, our coaches have watched their players reach levels of achievement that the parents and players never thought were possible.
During the club team season, we will offer
special training days for players in addition to their regular team practices. These training days will help to maintain as well as improve your son's or daughter's skills. We know that the important times on the court are often the times spent LEARNING, TRAINING and DEVELOPING. While many clubs offer team practices and focus on games, our club will go above and beyond to make sure players are game ready with all of the training required to be READY to play
Testimonials:
"Whitmer Basketball Academy also known as Ohio Rising Stars is an excellent place to send your son or daughter to introduce or improve in the game of basketball. There are many qualified staff members that have so much knowledge that can help facilitate and maximize your child’s basketball potential.
My daughter, who is now a freshman at Kent Roosevelt high school, has been attending Whitmer Basketball for the past 4 years. During the off months of school play, the camps work on skills and fundamentals that she needs improvement on. She looks forward to attending the camps. They not only teach but she has a lot of fun. She has met many new friends that are outside of her school.
It is a great opportunity for your child to attend the academy and learn the game of basketball the way it should be learned!!!!"
