Thank you to all the players, coaches and families who have worked tirelessly throughout the summer to prepare for this event especially the combined group of Collegiate and Men's Open players who represented FAST-D at the FBA-NA Basketball Tournament in Niagara Falls during the Canadian Civic Holiday. Coached by Rob Arcilla and Tony Saavedra, the 6'Under Team had a spectacular run earning Runners-Up in the division.

Intercity Stadium Tee

To help show our support in the stands and throughout the gym, we are offering the Detroit Stadium Tee Shirt designed by Justin Mupas (JDOT Originals). For all those who pre-ordered shirts, the stadium tees will be available for pickup during the final weeks of practice starting August 24th at UWM Sports Complex at 867 S. Blvd E., Pontiac 48341. For those who missed the pre-order, a very limited number of Stadiums Tees in Adult medium and large will be available for purchase for $20 each during that final practice week.

As way of background on the design, the back of the Stadium Tee features the SHINE ON, LUNA emblem for Luna Rubio, one of our Mosquito players, who is currently facing a serious health challenge. This design represents strength, courage, and a light that continues to shine no matter what she and others are facing. Every time we step onto the court, we carry them with us. It is a reminder that, at FAST-D, play for something bigger than ourselves – we play for each other.
