COACHES

GRIT values high level coaching. We pride ourselves on teaching the game and preparing the girls for college basketball. We can guarantee: college run practices, skill development, recruitment help, competitive schedule and a positive style of coaching.

All GRIT coaches were hired because we believe they are in AAU for the right reasons and truly have the girls best interest.
