Sierra Verde ParkBasketball Venue in Glendale, AZ

Basketball has been a lifelong passion of mine, and coaching gives me the opportunity to share that love of the game with others. With years of experience both playing and mentoring, I have developed a coaching style that adapts to players of all ages and skill levels. Whether I am introducing the basics to young beginners or fine-tuning strategies with more advanced athletes, I focus on building confidence, teamwork, and a strong foundation. I believe that every player deserves to feel supported and challenged in a way that meets them where they are. My goal is to make the game fun, competitive, and meaningful, no matter who is on the court. I bring energy, patience, and a deep respect for the game to every practice and every player. I am currently saving for medical school, so I am happy to work with you on scheduling and availability. Whether you’re looking for consistent sessions or flexible drop-ins, I will do my best to make it work. :)

"Srikar really helped me build my endurance on the court. I used to have plantar and it made it difficult to push myself, and Srikar with his medicine background helped me make an impact through different training and recovery methods.

With 35 years of experience playing basketball and 7 years of coaching ages 4-12, I specialize in developing athletes through focused skill training and strategic thinking. I put a strong emphasis on shooting and ball handling, blending proven techniques with a fun, engaging approach. My goal is to build both confidence and a winning mindset.

"Started off with a rec player and grew her into a club player by continuing to push her to be what she could be. Amazing coach and great attitude with my child

My name is John R. and I have been playing basketball since I was 12 years old. I pursued a professional basketball career and earned a callback tryout with the NBA G-League’s Idaho Stampede. Though I didn’t achieve my ultimate goal, the journey enriched me with invaluable knowledge and experience. I still have an immense love for the game and love to share that passion and knowledge to help others improve. Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced player looking to take the next step I can help you. I have drills and workouts for improving shooting, ball-handling, defense and conditioning. My workouts will primarily focus on individual skill-work. If this sounds good to you, give me a call and we can get started improving your game!
