In 2000 Steve Beck brought the Five-Star vision to the Greater Washington area. Now with 1,000 children a year attending a Five-Star of Greater Washington Camp, Five-Star is the leading instructional basketball camp in the area.

Five-Star is most proud of the opportunity to work with players and raise their game to their highest level. This has enabled tens of thousands of Five-Star participants to play basketball in college and beyond.
