I look forward to the next session to start back up. Not to mention each week my son received a pair socks that was awesome . read more

Our 6 year old son has loved T-Ball! Coach Michael has been great with the kids and cares about them learning while having fun. This program is a great way to introduce the sport to the younger kids in a fun, low pressure way. read more

Saw Riding Stars Development League on IG feed for awhile now, but never could fit it into our schedule. My 7yo son is usually busy with other sports on Saturdays. However, one day his baseball game was rained out. I contacted them on IG to see if we can just drop in for one session. They promptly replied with "sure just come on down". I'm glad we did. My son has been involved with organized sports (baseball, basketball, soccer, Jiu-Jitsu) since he was 4 years old. We've seen some good sports programs, and some poorly ran ones. Coach Verne and his team run a top notch program. Professional in every way. Not only did my son learned new skills from just that one session, he also had lots of fun. He even came home with free socks and other goodies! I can definitely tell that the staff enjoys what they do and it shows on their faces. If you're looking to introduce your kids to basketball don't hesitate to sign up. I heard they're also starting a soccer program too. Look out for that. Hopefully our schedule becomes free so we can sign up next time! read more

My son who recently turned 5 joined Rising Stars basketball for 4-7 year olds. It's advertised as for beginners and I would disagree with this. My child is beginner level and needed time focusing/learning the basics as well as time with the ball. There are a large number of kids in each session, so during drills your child may be standing around for some time. During one of the sessions, my son touched a basketball twice in the hour of practice, that's not sufficient. It was also clear he as well as other beginners were lost during the scrimmages. If your child has experience with basketball, I could see this being a good program to build upon their skills, especially during the scrimmages. read more

Highly recommend RisingStars- coach Verne is very passionate and knowledgeable about the league and it definitely shows in the outcome of the kids! read more

My son just started basketball with RisingStars Development League and is really enjoying it. He is only 7 years old and this is his first organized basketball program. Coach Brooks and the entire staff do an amazing job of connecting with the kids. They create a fun atmosphere, while teaching the fundamentals and keeping the kids focused by moving quickly through each drill. I would recommend this program to any parent that is looking to get their kids involved in youth sports. read more

It's also a very fun program, the instructors are all very highly skilled, know how to teach and are great with the kids.

I cannot speak any higher of Rising Stars! Rising Stars is a developmental basketball league for kids of all skill levels. The coaches are passionate teachers and that passion is on full display every Saturday, without fail. They share their knowledge and the kids perform drills that are fun and challenging. The coaches are incredible with all ages! I have one son in the younger class and another in the older class and they both love their classes! But, the most valuable lesson that the coaching staff teaches is not the plays and drills, but the positive sportsmanship that they demand from their players. read more

I am very impressed by the coaches and drills that they do with the kids. You can tell that Coach Brooks along with the other coaches really care about the kids. Basketball is such a fantastic way to instill confidence and teamwork in children. I highly recommend this to any parent whose child might be interested. My son LOVES basketball and I love watching him grow and develop from this league. read more

Great program and staff! I highly recommend them they are great with the kids. They're techniques and passion really make a difference!

This is a great place, great place to have kids channel their energy and a great start as far as developing knowledge of the game of basketball. My cousin has been attending and he loves it. I'd definitely recommend it if you have a child taking interest in the game of basketball or just as a way to get them doing some organized physical activity. read more

This is our first session with Rising Stars and my son really enjoys it. He's played in the local recreation league but never got the fundamentals he's needed. Coach Brooks has a great way of incorporating fun and learning. Every week is a new way to develop a skill from footwork to dribbling. Coach Brooks is also great with the kids, he speaks to them on their level and never makes them feel inept. They end each session with a game. I highly recommend coach Brooks to help develop your child's basketball skills. read more

Professional and driven staff who teaches kids the fundamentals of basketball with positive reinforcement. All the coaches have a vast knowledge and passion for the game. I personally know coach Verne and he's proven himself to be a subject matter expert who is patient and helps each child become the best version of him/herself. read more

Simply a fantastic group for your child to be associated with! My friend, another mum, and I are always singing the praises of Coach Brookes and all of the coaches. They are great with the kids and the parents in encouraging everyone to help each other out. And are mentors all! Because here your child learns the skills necessary to be a team player in life as well as in basketball. We signed up our preschooler with Rising Stars Development League to be with friends and learn basketball, as it is one of her favourite sports. And here she is encouraged to get out there and block and pass and run and dribble and have the best time of her life learning the game as part of a team. Would totally recommend this League first for any parent looking to get their child involved in basketball! read more

Great programs! Highly recommend coaching staff with years of experience and skills. Coach Brooks is really good with kids and I love how he shows the kids how to fix their mistakes, if a child seems confused he will break it down and help them to grasp the concept of the drill or skill exercise. Thumbs up to this squad! They really know what development is about! read more

I tried another sports league in san diego but my child didn't play , rising stars development league played my child and taught​ drills to help my son learn basketball before he played in a competitive game. read more

Very solid program. The coaches seem to be very engaged, and truly understand the sport. I also like how the drills and techniques used to teach the kids are very creative. It shows that coaches really put some thought and effort into the program opposed to just throwing something together. Recommend to all. read more

This is definitely the best camp for the youth! Confident instructors who are patient and want to see growth.

These guys are great! My kid has learned a lot from Vern on and off the court. This guy belongs in the league so to have someone with that much talent so easily accessible for my kid is amazing. These guys are really doing a great service for the community. Thanks! read more

Coach Brooks is wonderful! His passion for basketball is so obvious! :) He truly cares about kids and helping them develop their skills.

My son has been in a lot of different after school activities. This one is by far his favorite. He loves his coach and can't stop talking about it at school and at home. I'm very thankful for this program. Thank you RSD. read more
