My classroom is not your traditional classroom. It has no walls, no smart-boards, and no air conditioning. To the contrary, it's found outside and the asphalt is usually right around 95 degrees under the blazing SoFlo sun! Even though my title is "Coach A.", I do much more than coach boys and girls middle school basketball. I teach them all how to be a better person, a better student, a better athlete, and of course, a better basketball player! Always in that unrelenting order. I fully believe in the lessons that youth sports teach and in the impact that a strong coach can have on the life and development of a child. Our school and student-athletes rarely have the money for uniforms or equipment. Please help me with this commitment to our student-athletes and our community for we will all be better for it. Thank you in advance, Coach A.
