Episode 122 – Marc Stern | Capitol Hoops Summer League Commissioner
Episode 122 takes us behind the scenes of one of the premier summer basketball events in the country as Capitol Hoops Summer League Commissioner Marc Stern joins the DMV Hoops Podcast.
As the official podcast of the Capitol Hoops Summer League at DeMatha, we're incredibly grateful to Marc for inviting us back for a second season. In this conversation, Marc shares the story of how the Summer League was built, the growing waiting list of teams hoping to earn a spot and the tremendous impact the Capitol Hoops brand has had on the DMV basketball landscape.
With 60 teams, more than 250 games, and competition spread across three venues, the Capitol Hoops Summer League at DeMatha has grown into one of the premier and arguably one of the largest high school summer basketball leagues in America. What began in a single gym has evolved into a must-attend destination for coaches, players and basketball fans throughout the region.
But what makes the Summer League so successful? Marc pulls back the curtain and explains how the event continues to grow while maintaining its high standard. He is quick to credit the dedicated staff, interns, and countless people working behind the scenes who help make the experience possible each summer.
From the evolution of summer basketball to the future of Capitol Hoops, this episode provides an inside look at one of the most influential basketball platforms in the DMV.
Episode 122 with Marc Stern is available now.
