Future Starz Basketball Club · Ages 8–18
One curriculum.
Whole athlete.
Future Starz is Starz Academy's after-school basketball club — a five-month club season built like a college program, with academics, performance, and the Diamond Mind mental-training edge built into the week.
Mission
The mission
The mission of the Future Starz Basketball Club is to give student-athletes ages 8–18 a life, performance-oriented basketball experience — education, basketball fundamentals, community service, leadership, mental performance, nutrition, and sports performance. One curriculum, whole athlete.
Program structure
The Starz engine
A college program, modified for a five-month club season — so scouts see players in a system built for the next level. Seven pillars, plus the one our competitors don't have.
College-style team practices
Structured like the next level: plan, pace, standards, film.
Academic support
Student first, athlete always — grades are part of the uniform.
SAT / ACT prep
Test-readiness support built into the season rhythm.
Prep provider to be announced.
Performance training
Strength, speed, and conditioning matched to age and position.
Nutritional support
Fuel education — what to eat, when, and why it matters.
Skills clinics
Guard, wing, and post skill tracks.
Clinic schedule to be announced.
Sanctioned tournaments
Maximum exposure in sanctioned competition.
Tournament circuits and showcases to be announced.
⭐ THE TUNNEL: DIAMOND MIND
Built into the week, not bolted on. The Diamond Mind hour trains the performing mind: the Pressure Audit (name the cue), the 4-4-4 Tunnel Walk (breath, body, attention, first action), W.I.N. ("What's Important Now"), and the Next-Play Reset (exhale, cue word, next job).
PERFORMANCE = (REPS × COMMAND) − DRIFT. The court trains the skill. Diamond Mind trains the moment the skill has to survive the crowd, the clock, and the stakes.

History of success
The Starz record
Starz Academy was founded in 2009; Starz Basketball Academy launched in Los Angeles in 2013. Co-founders: Bernard Jester, Ray Reed, Ty Reed.
Our proof is the work: the sealed camp photo sets, the coaching tree, and the culture our athletes carry. No invented alumni, no invented placements — the record speaks from what is real.
Once a Star, always a Star.
The club is a fraternity for life — involvement doesn't end when the season does.
