Starz Summer Basketball Camp
Where the game meets the grind.
A week of offense, defense, games, and fun — built the Starz way: skill on the court, structure in the mind, and the Diamond Mind hour no other camp teaches. Boys and girls, ages 7–15.
Proof, not promises
Real camp. Real numbers.
Our first documented Starz summer camp ran in 2015. Everything below is from the sealed record — no invented dates, fees, or enrollment numbers.

⭐ The Starz edge: THE TUNNEL: DIAMOND MIND hour
Other camps fill the hour with a gaming tournament. We fill it with the mind. Every camp week includes a daily Diamond Mind mental-performance hour built for young athletes:
The 4-4-4 Tunnel Walk — breath, body, attention, first action. · W.I.N. — "What's Important Now." · The Next-Play Reset — exhale, cue word, eyes to the next job. · The Pressure Audit — name the cue, install the rep.
PERFORMANCE = (REPS × COMMAND) − DRIFT. We're making diamonds out of our youth.

The why
The founder
Coach Ty Reed founded Starz Academy in 2009 and launched Starz Basketball Academy in Los Angeles in 2013 — one belief driving it all: opportunity is not a favor. It is a structure we build. Every camper who walks into a Starz camp walks into structure: the skill, the reps, and the mind.
Starz lineage: founded 2009 · Starz Basketball Academy launched LA 2013 · co-founders Bernard Jester, Ray Reed, Ty Reed.
The engine behind it
The mission
Starz camps run on the mission — keeping the seats open for the athletes the system usually forgets. Sponsored-seat and financial-aid details are confirmed at registration.
