JOY OF THE GAME HOSTS 2014 SPRING TRYOUTS FOR RISING STARS TRAVEL BASKETBALL TEAM

DEERFIELD, IL (FEBRUARY
23-MARCH 12, 2014) –
Joy of the Game
is hosting 2014 Spring tryouts for the popular Rising Stars Travel Basketball
program. Boys and girls at every level, 2nd grade through 11th
grade, will once again have the opportunity to join one of the most fun and competitive
travel basketball programs based on the North Shore.



 



The JG Rising Stars travel teams are coached by a team of
highly trained staff experts at Joy of the Game. The newly remodeled state-of-the-art
courts at JG Sports Center give the teams a home-court advantage, and the teams
play in at least six quality tournaments throughout the season. Additionally, Joy
of the Game’s partnership with the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA)
also provides great visibility for recruitment, and many players go on to play
for Division I, II, III & NAIA college basketball teams.

Stars,” says Brian Davis, Director of Basketball Operations of Joy of the Game,
who has been with Joy of the Game since 1994. “It’s fun seeing new talent come
in year after year, and watching the players grow and make progress.”
