Northstars Sportsplex

"The facility is great. I have come here to watch my grandchildren play. Love they have a concession area and even a little store. The only thing is the parking is limited and gets very packed on game days."

"Our family has had an incredibly positive experience with CT Northstars over the past year, specifically with our son's involvement in their AAU program. The impact has been nothing short of life-changing. Coach Katie has been instrumental in fostering not only individual growth but also a strong sense of teamwork. The tournaments held at CT Northstars attract strong competition. What distinguishes this organization is its emphasis on values, with coaches prioritizing sportsmanship, growth, and teamwork over scores. This philosophy not only shapes the players' mindset but also fosters mutual respect among coaches, referees, and athletes One of the standout features of CT Northstars is the inclusive environment that goes beyond basketball, creating a space where everyone feels welcome and valued. The facility itself is a hub of activity, hosting a variety of events such as tournaments, clinics, and open gym sessions for basketball, futsal, summer camps, and more."

"Our son has been playing for Coach Katie DaCosta for three seasons and we couldn’t be happier! He has developed and improved significantly thanks to her great coaching and she pushes all her players to play with integrity and passion. The facility is great with lots of seating areas for all courts and we absolutely love the family atmosphere!"

"There are not many locations in CT that can handle tournaments like CT Northstars, which allows for 3 courts running simultaneously in their state-of-the-art facility. With over 100 parking spaces in their upper and lower lots, a great concessions stand, and major talent from neighboring states that come to compete, I cannot recommend them enough. I believe they also host volleyball and soccer tournaments, but we go for the basketball!"

"If I can give zero stars I would… This place is a money pit! Not only is the building disgusting so is the owner Ray and whoever the scheduler is. The lack of professionalism and integrity is beyond me when dealing with families and children. During the holiday tournament he was involved in several disputes with families on the court around the children and in the lobby again around children. The poor scheduling creates a parking nightmare and results in families cars getting towed, or you miss parts of the game waiting for others to vacate the premises. Ray enjoys walking around yelling and demanding of those that paid a fee to get in the place... It’s not what you say it’s how you say it. The coach for the girls Northstars is a known cheater. The children that know her have witnessed her tactics. On a positive note I commend the children that are employed by him as he is a slave driver. He doesn’t treat them respectfully and they’re afraid of him. However, they do their best. I hope coaches and families speak up about these issues that have been going on for years if this is where our children will play."
