I enjoy coaching and helping players "believe in themselves on the basketball court, in school and in life. "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." – Christian D. Larson. In everything that we do, if we learn how to practice and prepare, the results speak for themselves.

Testimonials

"The small group size provided my child with the opportunity to develop individual skills while collaborating with others in a competitive setting. The passion and energy the coaches bring are always positive and truly motivate players to give their best effort." – Parent of a middle school player

"Coach Simo pushes each player to do their best while making sure everyone improves. My daughter gained so much confidence when working with him" – Parent of a 3rd grade girls player

My son has been working with Coach Bay for the past few months and we have already seen the amazing positive influence he has on kids. He has pushed Cam to be a better player and human. He motivates him in a way that is indescribable and we have seen both his skill level and confidence sore. Coach Bay cares deeply and truly seeks to not only improve kids basketball skills, but positively influence their lives - their self discipline, self control, confidence and teamwork. He is an amazing coach and wonderful human.
-Shannon Wetherell

“Coach Bay has been awesome with training of my son Nick.  He has been training with Bay for the past few months and the transformation has been great. Nick’s handle has improved drastically, his confidence level is through the roof and he now has an arsenal of moves in his bag that he uses each game. 
And of course his conditioning has improved.”
Thank you Coach Bay !
