An emphasis on hard work in a positive yet firm environment empowers players to up level their skills and realize they are capable of demanding more.

The team prioritizes team play and basketball IQ, focusing on collective success over individual scoring, strong fundamentals, significant seasonal growth, camaraderie, and ample in-game playtime for all players.

We intentionally maintain a small roster of 8 to 10 players to increase individual playing time, in contrast to other teams that may have 12 to 15 players at any given time. The coach prioritizes starting players who demonstrate commitment by regularly attending practices. 

It starts with the fundamentals, such as layups, dribbling, passing, 1v1, and 2v1 defensive skills. It then moves on to team play, including offensive sets and three-on-three, usually incorporating some form of friendly competition (for instance, the "winning" team may not have to do push-ups or liners). The session concludes with scrimmages, accompanied by guided game strategies and specific technical advice for individuals.

Yes, we participate in local South Bay AAU as well as local NJB leagues year-round. 

Fall Season 2024:  September 1 - November 30

Winter Season 2024-25: December 1 - January 31

AAU:  Every weekend between 10AM - 2PM

NJB:  According to NJB schedule, it is usually Sundays.

The team has been together since 2019.

There is a strong emphasis on training fearlessness in competition, and for kids to realize that the Coach will set players sites on the stars so they can land on the moon.  He has a special focus on defense and hustle. This is a highly intelligent group of kids who understand how to add value to the game. Team chemistry is a significant asset. The coach prioritizes adding team players who are coachable and has successfully led this age group into middle school leagues, winning championships.

We require a 6 month commitment for continuity and step function growth.  SV Coyotes Elite has won AAU tournaments, beating out very well-branded and well-funded youth basketball organizations.

  • 6 month Practice Session costs:  $2800/player per 6 month commitment
  • Practices are 2x/week at 2 hours per practice
  • 1 intensive skills sessions (e.g. ball handling, shooting and finishing) with an elite pro trainer who played competitive college ball as a Point Guard.
  • AAU Tournament costs:  Ala-carte and costs are split evenly down the team
  • NJB Tournaments:  League has their fee of $275/player per season.  Coach costs per season are $125/player.

This team and Coach has transformed my child from being a shy and tentative player to a dominant, fast, and vocal player who is fearless on the court. It helps that we have become undefeated.
