Excel Coaches
Our staff of dedicated and committed professionals consists of College, High School and Youth Coaches, and College and High School Players, who are all committed to serving your child and Excel’s misson, “To Change the World One Player at a Time”. Most of our instructors attended our camp and continue to return to give back to an institution that gave them so much.
Our high instructor-to-student ratio will guarantee the individual attention your child deserves. Most of our instructors attended Excel as kids and have returned as coaches to give back to an institution that gave them so much. All of our staff share our passion for the game and our sincere desire to share that love with your child.
We are especially proud of our coaches who learned to play and love the game at Excel, who have continued on to instill that love for the game in the next generation of players by serving as full-time coaches in youth, high school, college or NBA programs. Those coaches are highlighted in blue on the Staff Roster linked on this page. We are thrilled that the deep roots of Excel continue to flourish in their influence in other programs and growth of the game and the lessons that can be learned from it.
“My son as well as countless others enjoyed Excel, but it is no wonder. His coach was very encouraging, motivating, and full of praise. My son has been participating in Excel for three years now and he is very proud of his accomplishments there! Thanks to you and your staff.”
