Copying a message to everyone (with a few edits) from last March...welcome to the greatest month of the year! 


If you're a basketball junkie, you have to love MARCH and all the Madness it brings. I've been around the game all my life, coached for nearly 30 years, and lived through 52 months of March...there is nothing quite like the abrupt end to a season. Let me explain...


Teams, at all levels, have poured months and months of practice, strength and conditioning, training, film study, team bonding, travel and other preparation into a long, grueling schedule of games. 


Tournament season has begun and those rhythms continue with even more intensity...until you play your final game. Winning a championship or being eliminated in the process...the end is swift and final. In all my years around the game, I've never gotten use to the finality of the season. For the great competitors, anything short of winning that final game, leaves you hurting and hungry for just one more chance...one more game.


Thanks for letting me share (again)...I'll always love March!!!


With the end of the Winter season comes the beginning of your off-season development. We're excited to launch our Spring Team Shooting Membership, more consistent Spring hours in the LAB, and Sunday Night Shooting! Check out ways to get better below in this month's LAB Report.

ATTENTION 2026 SPRING TEAM PLAYERS!


We have talked about launching a special LAB membership for you for quite a while and now is the season! We are excited to offer this exclusive 3-month membership to help you grow your game and improve your shooting ability over the course of your Spring season. 


As a STARS player, you'll receive LAB shooting access at just $59 per month and receive TEN 30-minute shooting sessions per month. This is a value of $250 and over $100 off the normal monthly rate for a membership like this!


Between now and the end of the month, you can start your 3-month membership. The monthly payment will begin on the day you purchase and your shooting access begins immediately. For example...if you purchase and start shooting on March 15th, you will have 10 shooting sessions each month to use until June 14th. Shooting sessions can be booked one at a time or you can book back-to-back for a full 1-hour session.


We expect a large number of Spring Team players to take advantage of this great offer! We can't wait to see you in the LAB this season. If you're ready to get started...click below the graphic to download our STARS Shooting LAB app, build a profile and purchase the membership today. 


Check out more info below and reach out to Ted Quinn, LAB Director, with any questions.


 
 


We're just 2 months in and the shot numbers are starting to pile up! We're excited to see some new names on the leaderboard...along with some familiar faces.

MADNESS

Proverbs 22:19

"I am teaching you today - yes, you - so you will trust in the Lord."


God uses life lessons to build our trust. In the Madness of March...we see this on full display in games and off the court. What thoughts tend to circulate in your mind when you are in a tough circumstance? We all face difficult circumstances at one time or another...on the court or off the court. In those difficult times, we can become discouraged or frustrated. We can forget the hope and joy God has promised us.


Even in the good times, the big wins, we can forget that happiness is temporary and does not compare to eternal joy. Take a moment and ask God to remind you daily of the eternal hope He has given you.
