The 5 Star program is dedicated to developing players and helping them reach their highest potential. Coach Malcolm is an excellent mentor for kids. His strong emphasis on process, discipline and team-oriented play makes him a very effective teacher. By laying a solid foundation for the kids to understand the plays, preparing them for endurance, teaching them new skills, and encouraging them to continuously seek out North Stars, he does an excellent job of mixing everything together to offer well-rounded development. As a result of this program, I am confident that the kids will benefit both on and off the court for years to come. 5 Stars all the way!

I am so grateful to the coaches, Malcolm McCreight and Lester Ruffin who trained these unbelievable athletes! They are an amazing role models to the kids who look up to them! They built their confidence, their self esteem, and bringing the best out of each and every one of them by focusing what needs to be improved, encouraged, or praised!

My 7th grader has been participating in the Five Star Prep program for a few years now. Since entering the program, my son has developed his basketball skills and built up his strength and endurance. The b-ball skills and physical conditioning in the program contributed to him making the A-team at his school, where he is a standout player. During this time my son has also maintained mostly A's and a few B's at school. As a student athlete, the expectation coach Malcolm has for the players requires discipline and perseverance which goes a long way on, and off the court. Most importantly my son enjoys being in the Five Star Prep program! Go Five Star!!

Our son has grown in confidence since joining the team, and has fun while playing. Coach Malcolm seems to have a vision for the boys that extends beyond basketball, but to help them grow as men and provide a diversity of activities like guest speakers, skills training, endurance, etc.

My son participated in the summer league and will play in the winter league as well. He has made the basketball team at his middle school this year(as a huge percentage of the Five Star does) and I’ve personally noticed a huge change in his game since joining. If you are looking for a program to prepare your child for playing on any competitive team, I highly recommend Five Star as a starting place. A huge thanks to the coaches for putting in the time and effort to get those guys there. They really put in the work!

The level of conditioning and skills training quality with Five Star is above and beyond what I have seen compared with some other programs. Coach Malcolm believes in training kids the right way which shows in how they play and compete. He takes the time to help the kids understand the game better in a fun but competitive way. My son loves it!
