Sparks Make First Appearance at the AAU National Championships
In July of 2003 the Saratoga Sparks advanced to the National Championship Tournament for the first time in the organizations short three year history. Our 12 and under  team qualified for the opportunity to represent the Adirondack Region at the National Championships held in Lafayette, Louisiana. The Sparks advanced by beating the Northern Lites in the final round of the regional National Qualifying Tournament.
 
During the five day National Championship Tournament the Sparks played the very best teams in the nation and played very competitively each time they took the court. The Sparks lost by five points to the eventual winner of the National Shootout and by nine to the Texas State Champ.
 
Each of our athletes worked hard and represented both the Sparks organization and the Adirondack Region proudly.
