Product Description

Product Description

Over 5,000 talented players have completed the Five-Star program and received scholarships. Distinguished alumni include Isiah Thomas, Moses Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Mark Aguirre, John Paxson, Jim Paxson, Jeff Ruland, Darnell Valentine, and Mike O'Koren. Here, in print for the first time, is a compilation of 131 drills they practiced at the nation's premier basketball camp. The book includes the following:

  • 131 of the best drills used at the Five-Star camp
  • Conditioning, one, two, and three player drills for men and women
  • Proven regimens from a star-studded galaxy of NCAA and NBA coaches
  • Step by step instructions with pictures and diagrams to maximize your potential and practice time

      "Howard Garfinkel and Will Klein are as well organized in their presentation of drills as they are in their camp. This book is a great contribution to your basketball library." -- Bob Knight

      "Owning one of the most varied sports libraries in the country, I consider myself an expert on sports books. Nowhere on my shelves is there anything approaching the value of these drills for youngsters and young coaches. It's the best drill book in America." -- George Raveling

      "With the advent of the three-point shot, there's now a high priority on the skill parts of the game. This book will help the dedicated user become a fundamentally sound player." -- Mike Fratello

      "A must for all young players and coaches who want to learn the game the way it should be taught." -- Rick Pitino

      "Five-Star has done a great job helping kids. I admire the way they've emphasized teaching the concepts and maintained the personal touch in dealing with youngsters. This book carries on that great tradition." -- Mike Krzyzewski

--Dean Smith, College basketball's all-time winningest coach

"No one has done more for the game of basketball in the past four decades than Five-Star's Howard Garfinkel and Will Klein" -- Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University

"A must for all young players and coaches who want to learn the game the way it should be taught."--Rick Pitino, University of Louisville

Before there was a Nike or Adidas camp for the nation's elite high-school players, there was Five-Star. Now in its 37th year, more than 5,000 talented players have completed the Five-Star program, and over 300 of them have gone on to careers in the NBA. Distinguished alumni include Isiah Thomas, Moses Malone, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Jamal Mashburn, Rasheed Wallace, and Vince Carter

In Five-Star Basketball Drills, you will find the same 131 drills practiced by these basketball greats at the nation's premier basketball camp. The book includes:

  • One-, two-, and three-player drills for men and women
  • Proven regimens from a star-studded galaxy of NCAA and NBA coaches
  • Step-by-step instructions with pictures and diagrams to maximize your potential and practice time

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for either an individual or team training, 17 July 1998
By jsataten@dcscorp.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five-Star Basketball Drills (Paperback)
I used this book, after being placed on the J.V. team at my high School my junior year. I had very little skill at all, but wanted desperately to become a better ball player. After purchasing this book, I used the drills in it for only 2 months and improved my game to a whole new level. I not only made the varsity team that next year, but was a starter and had a very good senior year. Since graduating, I have coached at the high school level, and this book worked wonders for the team. I have also used this book to work with younger individuals, and seen drastic improvement in their abilities. I would recommend this book to any young person who wants to better his/her skills, and to any coach to strengthen their teams fundamental abilities

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, 9 Aug 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five-Star Basketball Drills (Paperback)
This book is a classic. I can not believe that there are not more reviews giving this book the priase it deserves. If you want to become better at basketball you must not only practice consistantly, but you must know the correct techniques and moves to practice. This book is basically a complete reference of drills for every position that have been used at the nations premire basketball camp - five star. When Trajon Langdon started out as a freshman at duke this book recieved a lot of attention because Trajon, being from Alaska, did not have great exposure to a wide variety of basketball camps. Trajon bought this book and used the drills in it to make him the player he became. Every highschool player and coach should own a copy of this book if they are serious about improvement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five-Star is where the teaching never stops, 21 Nov 2008
By Peter Robert Casey "Peter Robert Casey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Five-Star Basketball Drills (Paperback)
Garfinkel and Klein built one of the most prestigious basketball camps in the industry by focusing on transmitting fundamental and advanced knowledge of the game. You don't go to Five-Star for the food or accommodations. It's a basketball boot camp and this book allows you to take the timeless drills home with you.
