Comets announce selection to Girls Under Armour Association

The Comets Girls Basketball Club, one of the most successful club teams in the country over the last 35 years is proud to announce a partnership with Under Armour. As an Under Armour sponsored program, the Comets will be a Charter Member of the Under Armour Association (UAA).

The UAA and its #unleashchaos campaign will sponsor leagues at the 17 & under, 16 & under, and 15 & under age groups. The circuit will have an online presence unparalleled by other shoe companies including player profiles, results, standings, and individual player statistics. As Under Armour enters the world of girls’ basketball their impact will be felt countrywide with an unmatched commitment to our program, the league, and all of the athletes involved.

We are excited to announce that 3 of our teams will be on the inaugural UAA circuit in 2019; class 2020s, 2021s, and 2022s. Teams involved will play a 10-game regular season schedule with two UAA regular season tournaments leading up to the UAA finals in Atlanta, Ga at the end of July.

This is a one of a kind opportunity that the Comets program is excited to be involved with that will benefit ALL Comets teams at every age group.  From apparel packages to event signage and the implementation of a branded website, the UAA will be a spring and summer basketball experience that will exceed what is offered by other shoe brands.

Our partnership with Under Armour and our presence in the UAA league will add an even greater opportunity for our players to prove themselves on a national level. In the last 4 years alone the Comets have sent 34+ players to division 1 schools and another 35+ players to division 2/3 schools to continue their basketball careers.  We look forward to maximizing exposure and continuing to create unforgettable opportunities for our players.

 

Tryouts for our 2019s teams from 4th to 8th grade begin January 6, 2019. You can re-register at www.cometsbasketball.net

 

Give yourself the best opportunity to develop your skills, compete against the best and create memories that last a lifetime.

Comets Basketball

The COMETS are a non-profit girls basketball club started in the mid 1980's by Renee Pierangeli and John Gallagher.   The club continued to grow under long time NBA referee Joey Crawford, current Notre Dame coach Linda Genther, her husband, long time coach at Cardinal O'Hara Chris Genther and Carroll head coach Renie Shields. The main objective that began back then, has continued through today.

The COMETS strive to provide quality basketball instruction and superior competition for females from ages 9 to 17. These young ladies compete against teams from around the country, and continue to thrive at college exposure events and Nationals. Since the very beginning, the COMETS have created a reputation for fielding groups  of hard-working, fun-loving,  highly competitive and really talented teams.

Currently the COMETS boast 40+ girls playing college basketball, and over 350 former players receiving college scholarships. Our priority continues to be development through instruction and EXPOSURE by participating in the MAJOR College Viewing tournaments. Our instruction comes from the best coaches in the area. 

The 2018 version of the COMETS promises to be no different!
