Coach Jay is an exceptional basketball coach who truly stands out for his ability to teach the game in ways that resonate with players of all skill levels. His patience is unmatched—whether you’re a beginner learning the basics or a seasoned player refining your craft, he takes the time to break down every detail until it clicks. Coach Jay has a gift for finding different approaches to teaching, making sure every player understands not only the “how” but also the “why” behind each move, strategy, or decision on the court. What truly sets him apart is how he uses basketball as a tool to teach life lessons. Through the game, Coach Jay emphasizes the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. He constantly reminds his players that challenges on the court mirror those in life, and how you respond defines your character. Whether it’s bouncing back after a tough loss or staying focused under pressure, his guidance extends far beyond basketball. If you’re looking for a coach who not only helps you improve your game but also prepares you for life off the court, Coach Jay is the perfect choice. His passion, dedication, and genuine care for his players make him an outstanding leader and mentor.

Coach Taylor is hands down my daughter’s favorite coach! He understands how she plays and how to help her do the best during practice and also during games. He is easy to work with and is always looking out for the best interest of the girls. He knows how to motivate them and helps them to believe in themselves.
