All star tournament teams |
All Star teams are formed toward the end of the in-house rec program. All Star teams are selected by ratings of the in-house coaches. Each coach submits ratings from 16 to 1, rating their top choice as 16 down to 1. The values are added to rank each player.
- A Teams are formed from the top 5 rated players and 3 coaches picks.
- B Teams are formed from the next top 5 rated players and 3 coaches pick.
- Split squad teams are formed from the top ranking players.
The NBA usually sponsors Allstar teams as follows:
- 3rd Grade - 2 teams of 8 players - equal teams - split squad
- 4th Grade - 2 teams of 8 players - equal teams - split squad
- 5th Grade - 2 teams of 8 players - A team (div 1) & B team (div 2)
- 6th Grade - 2 teams of 8 players - A team (div 1) & B team (div 2)

“I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot...and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why... I succeed.”
- Michael Jordan
"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes."
