My Project

This is my fourth year coaching inner city students, as a teacher and coach, I pride myself on having a high level of care for my students. Over the last three seasons we’ve had limited resources but were always able to maximize and capitalize upon opportunities. I believe with the materials listed for our young men and women, we will again have the opportunity to do the same. Over the course of one season, we go through over 50, 40 count Poland spring bottles and often run out of ice packs and other first aid supplies. All parties will greatly appreciate all support and assistance as we go into our season as the 3x city champs girls basketball and boys basketball runner ups last year. Thank you all again Let’s go Jets!
