NEW ELITE BASKETBALL TRAINING PROGRAM COMES TO BLUESTREAK
FIVE-STAR BLUESTREAK BASKETBALL ACADEMY
(New York, NY— January 27, 2009) – BlueStreak Sports Training today announced its partnership with Five-Star Basketball, creating the Five-Star BlueStreak Basketball Academy.
Since 1966, Five-Star Basketball, recognized as the premier basketball training organization in the United States, has helped tens of thousands of young basketball players improve their skills. Having graduated more than 360 athletes into the NBA, Five-Star’s primary focus is helping young players develop their full basketball potential.
The unique experiences and resources of Five-Star and BlueStreak will combine to deliver the most comprehensive basketball and physical conditioning training available in the country. Athletes will enjoy Five-Star skills training, while also utilizing Athletic Republic-patented training protocols and equipment at BlueStreak. Yielding measurable improvements in agility, speed and strength, more than 2,500 professional athletes have benefited from BlueStreak training.
“We’re taking the training tactics that molded Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Grant Hill and other basketball legends and combining them with the best sports conditioning training that professional athletes like Shaun Alexander, Travis Hafner and Vance Wilson have used,” stated Leigh Klein, President of Five-Star Basketball Camp. “The marriage of Five-Star’s basketball skills and BlueStreak’s strength and speed will create the ultimate basketball program.”
“BlueStreak’s state-of-the-art facilities and training programs are a perfect match with Five-Star’s on-court expertise and commitment,” commented Shane Palahicky, Chelsea Piers BlueStreak Executive Director.
“Never before has proven basketball training been combined with the science of creating better athletes,” said Matt Cole, President of BlueStreak Sports Training. “This partnership should elevate play and bring basketball players to the next level in both conditioning and skills development.”
In anticipation of the winter basketball season, athletes begin conditioning and training as early as the spring. For the first time ever, the training techniques of Five-Star will be offered year-round through the newly formed Five-Star BlueStreak Basketball Academy. In 2009, Academy programs will include Spring Weekend Camps, Acceleration & Skills Training, Summer Camps and Fall Pre-Season programs.
