Director's Message

Parents,

First and foremost, thank you so much for visiting the Silicon Valley Stars Select AAU website.

Here at the Stars’ program, we hold a lot of pride and in the fact, we have been running our program for many years. We maintain an organized high quality program that prides itself in the integrity of our vision: to allow athletes to perform at the highest peak of their levels and to help them get there and beyond – physically and mentally.

Our coaching staff composes of excellent educators who focus on each athlete’s individual needs and creating a commonality that will help players thrive in a team environment. They provide not only skill development, but also aim to increase a player’s basketball IQ and sportsmanship, preparing them for the next level. Participating as a Star is not only a process of becoming a better basketball player – it also involves the growth of a better teammate, friend, and overall athlete.

Having been involved organizing teams and competing in AAU the past several years, I have seen the change in the dynamics of AAU. Many years ago, AAU only had one single division. Since then, AAU has expanded into four separate divisions – ranked in descending order. The goal of our program is for each team to thrive in their appropriate division, and always pushing to get to and compete at the next level.

For this upcoming AAU Tournament Play Season, the Silicon Valley Stars’ program is reaching out to invite parents with eager, highly skilled players to play for the Stars as we start the process of attracting more attention to the Silicon Valley area. With the affiliation from the renowned National Junior Basketball league, Stars’ will have an overwhelming amount of support and opportunities to be showcased.

With the growing amount of AAU teams, you have many options that you and your athlete can choose; however, I believe the history, philosophy, and goal of the Stars’ program is definitely a viable option. I would like to personally thank you for taking the time out for the consideration of the Silicon Valley Stars Select program, and wish your player success – whether it be on the Stars or another team.

Regards,

Mel Robertson
