HEA Firebirds Basketball Program
We have been blessed in recent years to have a great amount of program success. This year was capped with a 9th place national finish by our boys varsity team. Our girls finished as the undisputed National Champions!!!
Our basketball program has teams for players as young as 7 or 8, depending on skill level of the player, all the way up to seniors in high school. We endeavor to develop not only skilled athletes but more importantly followers of Christ.

Schoolcraft College PE building in Livonia
If your player has grown or you want to ensure that they will receive the correct size, please stop by during his time frame, or contact Sandy at sandralvalentine@yahoo.com to set up an individual fitting by October 5.
If you already know your player(s)’ size, or will not be doing a fitting, please email Sandy and let me know the following information:
Player name
Player age group they are participating in
top size
shorts size
12u Boy Players:
You will be receiving new uniforms this year! Sandy will have a sizing chart and measuring tape on the 30th, but will only have an adult small size as a reference, so if you would prefer to measure your player at home, let her know and I will send you the sizing charts. You can then email her the sizes.
Deposit:
There is a $100 deposit check due in order to receive your uniform. If you attend the fitting and have a check, you can take a uniform home with you. Please make checks payable to HEA Firebirds, post dated 03/01/2025. If you have multiple players, you can write one check for your family, totaling $100/player. We will return the check when the uniform(s) are turned in at the end of the season. Please email Sandy with questions or concerns on this matter.
