Max's All Stars Youth Basketball Program

On September 20th, Max's All Stars played their final game of 2015 - repeating as undefeated ABC Hoops champions. One month later, on October 18th, Max's All Stars started hosting youth basketball workouts on Sundays at P.S. 64 Robert Simon School (600 East 6th Street, New York, NY, 10009). The workouts begin promptly at 1:15 PM and usually last about two or three hours. It's free for first time participants and costs $5 for returning players. So far we have hosted seven workouts and they've been very successful. During those workouts Max’s All Stars had 23 total participants between the ages of 11-17 years old. Our coaches - Corey Orgias, Jason Lewis, Jerrell Lewis, Marvin Billups Jr, Patrick James and Troy Whittington among others - did some strength and conditioning warm-ups, ran important drills to teach the fundamentals and ended each workout with a competitive scrimmage. We are encouraged by the progress our coaches and players have made each week so far.

Max's All Stars intends to continue hosting workouts on Sundays for the foreseeable future and hopes to join leagues/tournaments in early-2016. Tomorrow we will host an intrasquad scrimmage and next Sunday, December 20th we will host a scrimmage game against the East Side Escalades.
