| Our philosophy |
Basketball for Stars is committed to
offering the best basketball camp possible. Our goal is to provide to
our players the highest quality teaching environment in the best
facilities that Israel has to offer. We want each
player to leave our camp a better player who is more fundamentally
sound in all aspects of the game. They will leave the camp with an
experience that will last them for the rest of their lives.

| History |
| One day 12 years ago
Aulcie Perry and Greg Cornelius met over a cup of coffee to discuss
plans to start a summer basketball camp. Both aulcie and Greg had grown
up in basketball rich areas. Aulcie in New York and Greg in Indiana,
both attended basketball camps during their development into players
and both agreed that a top quality basketball camp was lacking in the
basketball crazy state of Israel. Until that time most camps in Israel
had consisted of cramming 200 kids into a hot gym and playing 5 on 5
with no attention given to teaching fundamentals and improving players.
Aulcie and Greg both agreed that there was only one place in Israel
that could support that kind of quality camp and they both envisioned:
Wingate Sports Institute. The rest is history; over the past eleven
years Basketball for Stars has been the premier basketball camp in
Israel. |

beach town of Netanya and a 15 minute drive from Tel Aviv, Wingate is
the premier sports facility in Israel. Players are housed in
air-conditioned dormitories and practice in one of the 8 indoor gyms or
2
covered outdoor courts. Free time is spent in the Olympic size pool,
the
sports cafeteria, or in the campus cinema. No
other camp in Israel offers such a wide range of facilites.
