Basketball was my first love. I started playing organized basketball when I was 10years old and played all 4 years in college. Basketball has always been more than a game to me, I was blessed with amazing coaches and teammates that taught me more about life and bonds that will last a lifetime. Don’t get me wrong the game taught me a lot too, and those skills are used to get through life’s ups and downs. I don’t know where I’d be without it and I would love to share my passion for the game along with life skills to encourage youth the way I was. It made a difference!

Hi, my name is Coy and I love baseball. I’m 23 years old and I have been playing all my life and have been coaching for 4 years. My goal is to help students build confidence in their game and form good habits that will translate to success on the field. My goal is also to give students the tools and drills to improve their techniques without me so they can really improve.

"Coy was very patient with my daughter and really helped her understand what she could do to improve on her own time. Every lesson was fun and informative, and she was so excited to play little league with what she learned. We have noticed big improvements in her confidence and performance.

With over 16 years on the field, I foster both skill and sportsmanship. My passion is helping players of all levels discover their potential and achieve their goals in soccer. I am dedicated to nurturing the next generation of athletes.
