WHO WE ARE
The Boston Showstoppers is a girls' academic and athletic enrichment program dedicated to developing elite female student-athletes. We use basketball as a tool to inspire, educate, and empower girls ages 7–18 — encouraging excellence on the court, in the classroom, and in life. Through competitive play, academic support, mentorship, and a strong culture of sisterhood and service, we prepare our girls to succeed in high school, college, and beyond.
WHY CHOOSE US
We're more than just basketball. The Boston Showstoppers is a sisterhood rooted in excellence — on the court, in the classroom, and in the community. We develop elite female student-athletes by combining high-level basketball training with academic support, leadership development, and mentorship. Our mission is to empower girls to reach their full potential, not only as athletes, but as confident, capable young women prepared to lead in any arena.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fees: To play in the program is FREE. However, families will be responsible for purchasing their child's team uniform and travel fees.
Playing Time: There is no set amount of playing time. At the younger grades, player development is the main focus. Playing time will also vary by team, tournament, and game.
Tournaments: Teams will play five or more tournaments in the spring and typically three or more in the fall. Some teams, especially showcase teams, could be in as many as twelve tournaments.
Commitment: Coaches will deal with conflicts on a case-by-case basis, however, we are less flexible as players move up the ranks and for our showcase teams. Two to three practices per week in the spring and one per week in the fall is the norm.
Tryouts: Typically for our Spring teams we hold tryouts in November. Fall teams are typically selected from those who attend workouts. If a player missed tryouts they may have an opportunity too attend workouts and make a roster that way too.
Season Duration: The spring season for our regional teams starts the third week of March and will run through the first week of June. Our showcase teams run until late July. The Fall season will typically start in the second week of September and will end for everyone by the first or second week of November.
