Coach Byron Mello - Owner

Message from Coach Mello:

"I have designed Performance Basketball Clinics for players who are striving to improve their level of play. I believe there are a few unique things we offer all players, whether they are at a beginning, intermediate or advanced skill level:

  • Our learning environment is positive and encouraging.

  • All of our coaches are “teachers first”, with the ability to communicate to the players in a clear, concise way.

  • We are a “skills-based” Clinic. We focus on developing a player’s skills through quality teaching and drill repetition.

  • We maintain a ratio of 1 coach for every 9 players. This will provide each player with the necessary attention to learn proper technique.

I look forward to providing your child with a great experience at Performance Basketball Clinics."


Sincerely,
