HELLO BASKETBALL FANS,

Thanks for stopping by my website.  Basketball has been a huge part of my life and this basketball school has enabled me to continue to work with young people.  I try to reach young players in many ways.  Of course I like to motivate campers to become fundamentally sound basketball players, but I also want to use basketball as a vehicle to share God's game plan for their life.  My positive energy and enthusiasm rubs off on players and provides the motivation to turn potential into real success.  I have been fortunate to work with some of the top coaches around and I remain a  student of the game.

I have coached high school varsity basketball in Cabarrus county for 13 years, including two regional championships and the 2007 3A State Championship.  I have coached AAU basketball for over 20 years, including coaching NBA star Chris Paul for 5 years.  I have coached the Chris Paul All Star traveling team for the past 5 years.

I have worked and/or directed basketball camps and clinics for 25 years.  I hope you'll come out and see what our camps are about!!! 

Yours in hoops,

Coach P
