The Native Stars Basketball (NSB) program is a youth basketball training program in Arizona. The NSB program strives to increase the basketball skill level of athletes in the Phoenix area and the surrounding community. The main goal of the NSB program is to promote Youth Basketball in Phoenix, Arizona.

Our NSB program is important because it gives the children of our community a place to go on the weekends, to meet other players with positive values, learn basketball skills and most importantly learn basic life skills. The NSB program has been successful because of player dedication, parent involvement and our simple teaching philosophy. We teach our NSB athletes the methods and techniques in playing competitive basketball at the Middle School and High School level.

The NSB coaching staff believes that our athletic training program encourages our youth to acquire self discipline, develop strong self esteem, foster a positive attitude, promote teamwork and to plan for the future. Our weekend workouts consist of stretching, endurance running, conditioning, ball handling drills, dribbling drills, shooting drills, footwork drills, team drills, team competition, offensive and defensive skill development ranging from the basics to the advanced level of basketball.

Our NSB program is for children of all economic backgrounds, because we recognize that every child in today's society is a child at risk. We offer training to those in need and we share our philosophy of success with others around the world via the Internet. Thank you for taking the time to read about our NSB program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email.  Have a great day.
