Legendary Newton North Coach, Paul Connolly, to join staff in Waltham and Melrose weeks.
Former college assistant and champion Wakefield Coach, Colin Halpin!
"Coach O’Brien and the Rising Star staff have a tremendous ability to not only teach the fundamental aspects of the game but also convey both a perspective and appreciation to the campers about the diligent work and practice required to find success on the court. Beyond the noticeable skill improvement over a 4 day period, Rising Star’s most notable strength is introducing and embedding a love and passion for basketball in the majority of young athletes that attend. "
-Sean Spellman, Head Coach at The Roxbury Latin School.
"I have had the pleasure of working at Rising Star Camp and I can tell you that there is no better place for a player to improve their skills in a short amount of time than this camp. Coach O'Brien is a dedicated coach and his passion for improving players skill sets is apparent right from the start. In my twenty four years of coaching high school basketball I have worked many camps across the country and Rising Star is clearly one of the best. I recommend Rising Star highly and I guarantee any player that they will be a better player and person after attending a session."
- Rob Sarmiento, Head Boys Basketball Coach, Arlington Catholic High School
