Mentors
Forunate to learn from the best.
Strong background in basketball fundamentals playing for two great coaches who loved the game and their players: Rick Bell- Peters Township High School/Duquesne Women & Dave Niland – PSU Behrend- 600 + wins and counting.
Philosophy
Too much of current basketball is random organized AAU and tournament games.
Our primary focus is developing core fundamentals for the individuals who can then apply them to in-game scenarios. We find this far more beneficial than playing 100+ meaningless youth basketball games.
