Letter from the Coach
I have been so blessed to train and develop athletes of all ages and abilities from all over the world. Through these experiences, I have developed a training program that will help athletes maximize their abilities, push themselves to become elite level athletes, achieve desired goals, and most importantly, help them grow as people, and introduce them to what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Developing skills and improving competitive performance are keys that will propel an athlete to the next level.
Our program at New Creations Basketball Academy offers one of the most complete high school and postgraduate basketball programs in the country. Our program is designed to prepare student-athletes for the rigors and challenges of college basketball. Our program will change the way each athlete approaches the game and life. We focus on the important elements necessary to increase their abilities on the court, but, most importantly, we help them develop into successful young men & women off the court as well. Integrity is preached as an everyday staple of life here at New Creations.
We believe that our graduates will go forth from our program and not only impact the team and school they attend, but will also make a positive life changing impact on every person they come in contact with. The ultimate goal is not about basketball--basketball is a small piece of the equation--we teach life lessons that our young men will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
