Welcome to the coaches who joined the Wildcat staff for the 2014 AAU season — and welcome back the returning staff.
New for 2014 — Justin Proper (3rd/4th grade)
Basketball has been Justin’s passion since high school. He captained his upstate New York high school team and has continued to play in leagues ever since. He has been coaching for three years and gives group and private lessons — teaching the skills any player needs to succeed in basketball and in life.
New for 2014 — Mark Jones (6th grade)
Mark comes from one of the area’s premier CYO programs, St. Katherine’s, where he has coached 12 of his 18 years. His teams have gone undefeated in league play for five straight seasons and reached the Archdiocesan finals in the past two. If you want to play in high school, Mark is the one to get you ready — 20 of his former players are now on their high-school rosters.
