Paul Savramis

New York United States

Executive Director

When the recently retired Paul Savramis established Rising Stars Inc. in 1994 to help youths develop life skills through playing basketball, he insisted that the instructors be the very best. He required that Rising Stars Inc. trainers and coaches had played or coached basketball at least as high as the collegiate level. In addition, they needed to earn certification in physical education that specializes in basketball. Paul Savramis also gave his instructors further training from teachers with specialties in education and psychology, as well as from clinicians with an average of more than three decades of experience in developing fine basketball players.
