"Now the goal of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unpretended." 1 TIM 1:5
Community service is a key aspect of STARZZ Basketball. Collectively, STARZZ Basketball has a geniune desire, and perhaps social obligation, to give back when and where it's appropriate. Our Community Outreach program seeks to give back to the Copperas Cove community who support our program, our players, and the rest of our community.
We will support several programs, some of which include Make-A-Difference Day, Feast of Sharing, and Relay for Life to name just a few. We welcome all community-minded individuals to join us!
All players and families are expected to participate in team organized community service events to the best of their abilities.
