The Alberta Shooting Stars Basketball program is one of the longest running club programs in Alberta having been formed in 1990.

Mandate
The Alberta Shooting Stars mission is to develop, showcase and promote girls basketball in Alberta.

The Shootings Stars run the following programs:

Provincial Girls All Star Games
This year marks the 12th year for the Provincial All Star games.  In 1994, the event started with two Provincial all star games: one game involved grade 12 players from A/2A schools and the other game involved 3A/4A players.  Both games were played in a North/South format.
The next year, the 3A and 4A games were divided into separate games which continues to this day.

In 1999, the event was expanded to include younger players from Calgary and area.  These were the "Prospects" games and involved players from grades 9 through 11.  In 2005, we expanded the Prospects game to include players from outside the Calgary area.

All games in this event have been played at the SAIT campus center. We thank Coach Avery Harrison and the SAIT Athletic Department for their co-operation.  The facility recently went through a half million dollar renovation in preparation for the hosting of the CCAA Women's Basketball Nationals so we are excited to be in this newly renovated facility for the first time this year.

This year we will have 4 Prospects games and three senior all star games with over 150 participants.

To participate in these games, athletes are nominated by their coaches and then they are invited to play.

Development Camps
Player  development camps have been run by the club usually in the fall spring and summer.

Spring/summer Club Teams
The Shooting Stars have put teams in numerous spring leagues and play in a number of spring and summer tournaments.  Over the years, the club has traveled to tournaments in B.C., Texas, Arizona, California, Washington, Oregon , Colorado and Hawaii.

Please check this site in the future for more details or contact Director Brian Utley at butley@rockyview.ab.ca

The 2005 schedule and age groups will be announced after Easter.

Tournaments
The club has sponsored numerous tournaments in the past and plans to host a tournament this spring. The date of this will also be announced after Easter.
