Premiere Hoops Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Premiere Hoops Storms the Court with Fantasy Programs, Giving Players the NBA Basketball Experience of a Lifetime

Competitive, character-building recreational leagues offer affordable alternative to AAU ball

PLAINFIELD, Ill., Sept. 24, 2013 – Announcing the start of its 15^th season, Premiere Hoops (www.playforrings.com) continues to be among the best recreational basketball programs in greater Chicago, with leagues designed for boys and men. In the Maywood area, boys can participate in the Fantasy Combine, which is a feeder program for the next level of competition. Fantasy Development Leagues are held in Glen Ellyn and Downers Grove, while men's Open League games are played in Downers Grove. The complete rundown of leagues is available here: http://www.playforrings.com/Leagues.html.

"Our goal at Premiere Hoops is to give players with hoop dreams a chance to realize those dreams," explained President Bill Leach. "The programs we offer are designed for boys and men who have a passion for the game. But it's more than just a game: we use basketball as a tool to teach kids important life skills and values. By fostering hard work and dedication, we help players work toward their ultimate goals."

Structured in large part like the NBA, the authenticity of Premiere Hoops is what makes it more than the average recreational basketball program. Leagues begin with a short pre-season camp, followed by a draft. Experienced, volunteer coaches will provide hands-on personal training, giving every player the opportunity to maximize their innate talents. Each team wears real NBA uniforms and play for real championship rings and a trophy.

The future looks bright for Premiere Hoops. The company has plans to secure a third site for its Fantasy Development League in 2014, bringing the total to four. On the drawing board as well is a dedicated basketball training center. Finally, Premiere Hoops looks to break into the AAU circuit next year; two fully sponsored fantasy league all-star teams will take the court for the spring season, complete with custom uniforms, shoes, travel bags, professional coaching staff and more.

Premiere Hoops Power Rankings Week 4

So the 14th season of the Premiere Hoops Fantasy League ends like this huh? Clippers finally go out on top! They dropped their first two Finals attempts! Make it to their third Finals in a row and make a fantastic break through! This was by far the best season ever for the Fantasy League! A lot of good teams joined the club this season and made the league pretty competitive! We hope to build on that success for next season by adding a few more quality ball clubs! But for now, this season belongs to the Clippers! Hail to the Clippers! Hail to the Champs!! The final power rankings ended as follows:





The Clippers have been rocking with Premiere Hoops for many years now! A talented bunch of cats from Elgin! These are some good dudes man, a the way around!! They have made it to the Fantasy League Finals the past three years! They finally break through with their first championship against a team I thought they just could not beat! Good team with a couple of good young studs that should keep them in Finals contention for seasons to come!






Another good squad here! This team is composed of some of the best ball players in the city of Chicago, hands down! They are never out of a ball game and they never quit until the final whistle blows! The defending champs from last season, had a tough road to the finals! I thought that once they made it to the championship round, they would somehow find a way to slip past their rival Clippers, once more, to repeat as champs! But this season belonged to the Clippers! We'll see if these guys will return to reclaim their title!








The Bulls by far had their best team and best season in years! They did it with a nice mix of young talent and savvy vets to give teams match up nightmares! This team has a lot to look forward to in the near future, if they can make one or two smart off season moves with personnel! If they can add the right pieces and find the right mix of talent, then maybe next season the Bulls will be playing for their first Fantasy League championship!










The Lakers this season seem to do the best job out of the four new sub teams to join the club! They started the season read hot! Beating all comers with a good mix of power ball down in the post and athletic youthfulness that had them playing wonderful basketball! But the Fantasy League can be a long season! Loose a couple of key players, then hit the playoffs not playing your best ball and in a blink of the eye, the season is over! This is another good squad I hope to see back, with changes!










Here's another good squad I really liked! This team has a couple of good bigs and a slew of flat out good players who can match up with any team on any given night! This was one of the best organizations in the league as well! They showed up to all the games, on time, didn't complain much, and followed directions! I loved how this team got down! And they supported the league with cash patronage! What more could you ask for....but more teams like these cats to join the club!!!










Here's another good Sub squad that's much like Golden State! Good players who show up every game ready to play! They follow directions and patronage the league with cash! The league needs more teams like this one to be successful and beneficial to everyone involved! This is a dangerous team when everybody shows up for work! They play hard every night and look for wins every time they step on the court! That's what you want from all of your teams!








The Brooklyn Nets struggled in their first season of the Fantasy League! A collection of tough players are not enough to get you through a league like ours! Going through an entire season with no wins is no fun! But in order for this team to get better they first have to become a better organization! Lots of loose ends with this squad makes for a ship not built for trouble waters! Nets have to build a solid foundation before they are ready to come back for another season with us! They're starting from the bottom!











We always seem to have problems with any team trying to be the Celtics! For whatever reason, they always seem to drop out of the league during the regular season! The same problem occurred this season as we tried to clump together a bunch of free agents which almost never seems to work! I think next season we will ban any team from being the Celtics! We already have teams lining up to replace them for next season!
