Starting with mid 2017 Stephanie Stanley, has founderd Merit Sports www.meritsports.com . For many years she has been our US Partner and since January 2024 she is a member of our Agency as US and WNBA Agent. In 1997, Stephanie began hosting an Annual Free Agent Camp with the sole purpose of providing a venue for professional caliber players to showcase their skills. The camp is well attended by WNBA personnel and the attendance of overseas scouts has increased each year. In addition to the camp, Stephanie attends various tournaments throughout the United States with New York Primetime to ensure that her clients gain maximum exposure. The New York Primetime Women’s Basketball team has experienced great success since its inception in 1986. They have won several championships at NYC’s West 4th Street league and have dominated at the Pro-Am National Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada. The roster is comprised of players with professional experience as well as recent college graduates. To date, several of our clients have made it into the WNBA or have secured overseas contracts as a direct result of the exposure gained by playing with Primetime or by participating in our free agent camp.  Stephanie was one of the first agents certified by the NBPA in 1999, who were dedicated to female players. When the WNBA formed their players union, Stephanie was among the first to be WNBPA certified in 2000 and is currently a member in good standing. Stephanie is also FIBA licensed and has been FIBA Certified since 2007.
