The Rage is entering its eighth year of operations in 2009 and is intended for those athletes with either a serious commitment towards improving their skills and competing against the best athletes in the country or those wishing to improve their skills and be better high school players.
Practice is held a minimum of two nights per week and tournaments take place on weekends beginning in April and ending at the end of July. The month of July, for the elite team, is spent traveling to the top tournaments in the country, allowing our athletes the opportunity to be viewed by hundreds of college scouts. Tournaments that we have attended in the past include: End of the Oregon Trail (rated by many to be the best summer tournament in the country), Nike USA Cup in Chicago, Mid-Summer Night's Madness in Seattle, San Diego and Arizona, Memphis River Classic, Miss Basketball Showcase and the San Diego Showcase.
Previous players have come from Monarch, Silver Creek, Dakota Ridge, Evergreen, Weld County, Skyline, Highlands Ranch, Wheat Ridge, Niwot, Lakewood, Thomas Jefferson, Skyview, Holy Family, Wiggins, Denver East, Green Mountain, Fairview and Longmont High Schools.
The Rage is coached and directed by Shelby Davis. Shelby played collegiately at Metro State College and currently coaches at Wheat Ridge High School. Shelby has coached at Monarch High School, Gold Crown Thunder Ridge feeder teams, Johnson and Wales University, professionally in Rovereto, Italy and numerous camps and clinics.
The Rage will also be coached by Rachel Caliga (asst varsity head coach at Dakota Ridge). Rachel played and coached at Regis University and will bring a wealth of knowledge, talent and enthusiasm to the program. Rachel works with the posts on post development and is the head coach of the Rage II traveling team.
In addition, Meg Zarlengo (asst coach Wheat Ridge) and Lindsay Black (former University of New Mexico/CSU-Pueblo basketball player) will be coaching the lower level high school teams. Meg played on the Wheat Ridge team that went deep into the state playoffs in 2002, and is a defensive specialist. Lindsay played at Dakota Ridge and finished her career at CSU-Pueblo in 2008. Lindsay specializes in guard development.
