Private Basketball Training & Coaches in Poway, CA

I bring a championship mindset and years of on-court experience to every athlete I train. As a former collegiate standout and professional player, I was a 2x PCAC Player of the Year, 2x All-State performer, and helped lead Southwestern College to a state-best 50–6 record before earning a scholarship to Cal Baptist. There, I helped capture a PacWest Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. After competing professionally in Colombia and earning my Master’s in Physical Education from Azusa Pacific, I began my coaching career at Southwestern College. During my time there, I helped lead the program to three PCAC Championships, was named PCAC Coach of the Year in 2020, and coached 40 All-Conference players, with over 30 earning scholarships to four-year universities—including multiple Division I and professional athletes. Now, I use that same drive and attention to detail to help players and clients elevate their game, build confidence, and unlock their full potential—both physically and mentally.

"Coach Casey is a great coach to my daughter. My daughter who is 11 thought she hated basketball until she met him. After one session she asked if he can be her coach and she can join his team. His love and passion for the game truly show in his training and techniques. Casey is knowledgeable and friendly. He motivates my daughter. Make sure she has the correct stand/position, I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.
