Basketball Coach for Schools
Building players.
Building programs.
I help schools run basketball programs that students love and staff can sustain — from first bounce to championship games.
About me
Coaching is teaching — and every kid can learn
I've spent over a decade on the sidelines of school gyms and community courts. My philosophy is simple: fundamentals first, effort always, and every player — not just the starters — leaves every session better than they arrived.
I work with schools because that's where basketball has the biggest impact: confidence in the classroom, teamwork on the court, and a reason for kids to show up every day.

What schools say
"Our basketball program was struggling until Coach David came in. Within one season we had structure, discipline, and our first winning record in five years."
"He connects with the kids instantly. Attendance at after-school basketball tripled, and parents keep asking when the next camp is."
"Professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in every player. The mentoring he gave our staff means the program now runs itself."
