Northwest All-Stars was created in the Fall of 2010 by Denn Pretz, previously the director of Riverside Youth Basketball (girls') and out-of-season basketball for the Riverside high school girls from 2003-2010, serving both groups as program director, fundraising coordinator, tournament director and basketball skills, weights, agilities, conditioning and team coach. After seven years of helping to build and maintain one of the most successful girls' youth and high school programs in Washington state, Denn has decided to focus time and energy on this new venture in an effort to help boys' and girls' basketball reach even greater heights throughout the northwest. 

Youth and high school teams, club and same school, can look for Northwest All-Stars to continue to host the same top notch tournaments that Denn was known for putting together while working with the Riverside program, now partnering up to co-host tournaments throughout the puget sound region with organizations such as Seattle Youth Basketball and Emerald Ridge Girls' Basketball.

Girls' in-season high school basketball will get much more exposure as Northwest All-Stars partners up with key members of the girls' basketball community as well as local organizations excited to sponsor and host events set to bring together some of the best girls' high school basketball teams from around the northwest.

Northwest All-Stars will also work with a few experienced and well known club and school team coaches to offer boys and girls the opportunity to train in individual or small group sessions to improve their basketball skills and develop their potential into tangible results. More information on training dates, times, locations and costs coming very soon!
