BOSTON SHARKS: Welcome

     Hello and thank you for visiting The Boston Sharks website . The Boston Sharks organization was started in 2004 by Ray Bowen, Stephanie Dixon, Lisa Peddy and Lisa Johnson . The team was formed with such players as Sheylani Peddy (Wright State), Charne` Dixon (Wright State), Sasha Bowen (Mercy College), Jakoya Wilkins (Salem State), Tori McGee, Kisandra Ayanbeku (Montclair State) and Lamiesha Shackleford.  This team traveled to Chicago's Nike Cup, New York's Big Apple Tournament of Champions, Penn State Invitational, Blue Star Elite Oktoberfest, New York's Gymrat Tournament and New Jersey . In 2005 and 2006 with the additions of Laniece Langford, Tahtianna Tate (Okaloosa-Walton College) and Ryia Newsome the Sharks again competed against some of countries best high school players while adding Virginia and Maryland to the schedule.

In 2007 while several players have moved on, Ryia Newsome, Veronica Tavares, Daniellle Bowles (Univ. of Bridgeport) Delicia Williams and several new players have stepped forward to carry on the tradition created by the original Sharks.  While we attempt to maintain our competitive schedule we strive to put our players in the best position to be successful. Along with our traveling schedule the Sharks also participate in several local events to encourage parents and fan attendance . The Sharks practice at The Anthony Perkins Community Center and have scheduled tryouts . While we do have scheduled tryouts we do welcome walk ins as well.  The Sharks can be contacted via email (Bostonsharks@gmail.com) and also by contacting Haywood Burdette at 617 635 5146.  Mr. Burdette will pass on any information to the coaches. Once again thank you for visiting and we look forward to hearing from you .
