Welcome to Star Power International LLC
Our purpose is to create a platform and environment for domestic and international student-athletes to pursue their collegiate opportunities both academically and athletically.
OUR MISSION
StarPower provides young basketball athletes an opportunity to showcase their basketball talents through
StarPower basketball camps/clinics that will focus on player development through the basic fundamentals of basketball; creating a fun, safe, active, and learning environment for each student-athlete and staff member.
OUR VISION
Student-athletes will show and improve their basketball skills while expanding their knowledge on and off the court through the weight room, social interactions, emotional and mental health sessions (SEM), NCAA recruiting sessions, and player evaluations from a national/international evaluator.
Student-athletes will identify and learn to understand their physical strengths and weaknesses and how to improve them. They will also listen and engage in techniques that will provide them the skills needed to be able to mentally push through challenging situations that may arise on and off the court. To ensure that each athlete has effective evaluations throughout the camp/clinic, we at StarPower will ensure to heavily emphasize on court skill and character development through:

THROUGH THE BASKETBALL PROCESS
"Without commitment, you'll never start, but more importantly, without consistency, you'll never finish!"
WHAT KEEPS US GOING?
While commitment is necessary to begin a journey, consistency is what allows you to reach the end goal. Perseverance is the value of staying dedicated and consistent even when facing challenges; not just starting a pursuit, but also maintaining a consistent effort to achieve your goals.
