TEAM MENTORSHIP

Hear from Our Families

Tiffany Kosel (Mother of Josiah, 7th Grade)

"Coach Douglas took Josiah under her wing... My son today walks with confidence, speaks with a tone you can hear, plays basketball better than he could've ever imagined, and has a basketball team he can call family. Now that's PRICELESS!"

Takika Smith (Mother of Legend)

"A good coach teaches basketball. A great coach helps shape lives... Coach Nicole has played a huge role in helping Legend grow not just as a basketball player, but in his overall basketball IQ, confidence, and understanding of the game. What we love most is that she coaches these kids as a whole—character, mindset, and heart."

Renea' Little (Mother of Caden)

"We're grateful for coaches who challenge, believe in, and invest in their players. Thank you, Coach Nicole Douglas, for helping him grow both on and off the court."

Crystle G. Darnell (Mother of Tipper / Akira)

"Thank you Coach Nicole for always encouraging and pushing Tipper to be the best she can be & giving her that tough love when needed! We appreciate you more than you'll ever know!"

Taylor Gilson (Mother of Boomer & Local Educator)

"Coach Douglas is an amazing coach who is all about growth, development, and pushing kids to do their best. She creates a positive environment where players are encouraged, challenged, and supported every step of the way."
