• Rafer A. Giles Sr, formed the organization after two successful seasons with the Virginia Stars as head coach. Giles’ vision, love for the sport and heart for youth, bought him to the point of organizing his own league. He formally played basketball for Henrico High School (1983-1986) and continued his career and education at the University of Massachusetts (1987-1991). His amateur basketball coaching career has included the Virginia Stars (2009-2011) and East End Youth Basketball Association (2007-2008) Giles has accrued many awards.

In 1987, He was granted a full scholarship to University of Massachusetts. While at UMASS, in 1991, he received an award for All Atlantic Ten Freshman team. He was the 16th player in UMASS history to reach the 1000 point mark. Overall in his college career, Giles scored 1053 points. Giles has been recognized with the Sixth Man Award, which is given out each year for the most deserving 6th man on the University of Massachusetts basketball squad. Rafer received his Bachelor of Science degree in Sport Management from the University of Massachusetts in 1991.
