EVALUATIONS

"We are so indebted to Rick, as I cannot imagine having a better coach for our son during his formative years of basketball. Rick instantly connects with kids. He not only teaches them the critical fundamentals of individual and team basketball, but he also teaches them the invaluable traits that transcend sports-unselfishness, teamwork, discipline, and simply being a good person. His success rate of sending young boys and girls on to play basketball in high school is remarkable, but even more so, I have no doubt that the lessons he taught each of those kids will serve them well the rest of their lives."

"As a coach, Rick is one of a kind. His sucess as a coach comes
from leading by example. By showing respect for the children, the kids in turn show respect to him and to each other. Not only do the kids actually learn how to play the sport, but they have so much fun in process. Rick mixes his technical instructions with fun games and life lessons. He builds these life lessons into each class. They include showing the kids how to share the spotlight, how to support each other when they do a good job, to try your best and above all, do your homework. Thanks to Rick our daughter has become a huge basketball fan. He is very encouraging to all the girls who join. Our daughter has flourished under his teaching."

"My son, now playing for the freshman team(Piedmont High), started playing basketball just two years ago. He was introduced to the game by Coach Rick and learned the fundamentals of the game from Coach's program. His maturation and now participation in his high school team is a direct result of his experiences with Coach Rick."

Thanks Coach!!!

"Meanwhile, my eight year old daughter also started basketball with Coach Rick last year and is thoroughly enjoying playing in Coach's program. She is learning the game, sportsmanship, sharing,and just having fun; while developing a love for the game of basketball."

Thanks again Coach!!!!
