Question #4
What basketball tournaments are you planning on entering this summer?
Answer:
The NSB summer program will not be entering any basketball tournaments. The NSB summer program will focus on teaching the fundamentals of basketball. Our goal is to improve the basketball skill level of each player.
Question #5
How are players selected after they have submitted their electronic NSB interest form? How will they know if they have been selected?
Answer:
Once all the interest forms have been collected, each players interest form is evaluated by the coaching staff. The players are evaluated on previous attendance, previous behavior and how serious each player is about participating in the NSB program. Once we select the NSB players, we will inform them by text, email or by phone.
Question #6
How often do I submit the required NSB forms? (Expectations & Responsibilities forms, Medical & Dental form, Permission, Liability and Release form)
Answer:
The required NSB forms have to be submitted once every year to the NSB coaching staff. Most NSB players will submit their filled out and signed NSB forms when they come to their first NSB practice.
Question #7
Do you have any plans on putting on a youth basketball camp up North?
Answer:
In the past, we have traveled to other reservations to put on a two or three day youth basketball camp. At this time, the NSB coaching staff does not have any plans on traveling to any youth basketball camps.
Question #8
Do you have to live in Arizona to be a NSB member?
Answer:
Yes. During our summer season we have scheduled workouts in Phoenix, Arizona. It is highly recommended that all NSB members live near Phoenix so that they can attend all scheduled NSB workouts. Attendance is very important.
Question #9
We have a native youth basketball team and we are looking for a basketball tournament to play in. Do you know of any native or non-native basketball tournaments?
Answer:
Yes, I created a site for native and non-native basketball tournaments. Please visit the site and see if there are any basketball tournaments in your area. You can visit the site at: http://www.nativehoops.com/nativetournaments.html
Question #10
I filled out the online basketball tournament posting form on www.nativehoops.com. I sent it to Coach Largo. Why don't I see it on the www.nativehoops.com tournament web site?
Answer:
That is a very good question. Every effort is made to post your basketball tournament information, however, if you submit an incomplete form or if you submit your tournament information late, your tournament information will not be posted in time for your event. Tournament information is updated every 30 days. Your tournament information will not be posted for the following reasons: confusing or misleading information on the posting, past problems with your tournament or missing information such as tournament name, tournament date, tournament location/state and missing contact information (phone, email, text, ect.). We can not post any tournaments without any contact information. Please take your time and fill out the online form completely before submitting your electronic tournament basketball posting form.
Question #11
Do you offer discount fees for the Native Stars Basketball fundamental program?
Answer:
Yes, there is an Early bird special for $96 per player (before January 15, 2017). After January 15, 2017, full price is $120 per player. The Native Stars Basketball fundamental program is open to the first 20 female players.
