NATIONAL HEAD COACH:

Andre Speech.

I have been playing the game of basketball for 35+ years. As a California native, I played my prep ball in the Sacramento area at C.K. McClatchy High School and was a 4-year varsity standout. I finished my career as the schools all-time leading scorer, rebounder & shot blocker. I was 2-time league MVP and 2-time ALL-CITY selection. I finished my high school career by receiving the prestigious ATHLETE OF THE DECADE award and was inducted into the 2015 High School Hall of Fame in California. I went on to play at the University of San Diego (Div. 1- West Coast Conference) on scholarship and grew into a complete player moving from the Center, which I played in high school, to the Guard/Forward spot. I was awarded Teams Most Improved Player award as a sophomore increasing my points, rebs, blocks, and 3pt shooting.

Once my basketball playing career ended, I turned my attention to the development of student-athletes. I'm currently the Head Coach/Director of a very successful showcase AAU organization (Charlotte Dragons ages 8U-17U www.CharlotteDragons.com). From 2012-2022 I was the JV Head Coach and Varsity Asst. Coach at the 2016 4A State Champion, Charlotte Catholic High School. I’m now the Head Coach of the Boys National Varsity team at LAB U CHRISTIAN ACADEMY (Charlotte, NC). I've worked with developing athletes, both girls and boys, for over 30 years. I have worked with athletes as young as age 6 up to college & pro prospects age 21+. I'm also a Certified USA Basketball Coach.
