Our Objectives

• Teach the athlete the fundamentals of the game

• Educate the athlete on the importance of each of the principles of the game

We provide a safe and productive environment that enables all athletes to learn and apply the principles of teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship. We facilitate the development of strength and character in every athlete that participates. The Reach Basketball program is open to all athletes from age 5 to adulthood.

All members of our staff display an extraordinary amount of commitment and hard work, ensuring that our program is a positive influence in the lives of our children and athletes. We also strive to provide a service to our community by providing a healthy outlet for children and teenagers, opportunities for the community to gather together, and endless hours of entertainment.

Our Coaching Staff

Reach Basketball employs and trains qualified individuals and seasoned coaches to coach players and teams in the various Reach Basketball programs. During camps, in addition to our ongoing senior coaching staff, we bring in junior level coaches from community high schools to assist in training which also gives them an opportunity as well to grow into better players, mentors and coaches themselves.
