Dover, Delaware Youth Basketball Programs
Energy, Effort, & Passion
"I love the game of basketball for so many reasons, and they reach far beyond the court. I have learned through my career the discipline and passion one needs to succeed at a high level. Most importantly, the life skills you gain by playing the game alongside teammates. Basketball is unique in that it challenges you and pushes you towards maturity, which brings resiliency towards life’s many challenges. I love to assist and see players grow in their knowledge of the game, and their outtake on life in the process. “
Anaya Brooklyn McDavid has played basketball for the last ten years. She was a 5-year D1 collegiate starter and scored 2,000 career points. She was awarded conference honors each year of playing at the college level, and this past year was named Summit League First Team and Newcomer of the Year. In addition, she will be playing basketball professionally in Europe this Fall.
Love, Respect, &Â Grind
"Basketball begins with a love and passion for the game. You must respect your opponents, your teammates and most importantly the process. That process is a grind but when the love and respect for the game is there, giving your all is a no brainer. My purpose for all I do is to inspire, educate and empower youth, by creating opportunities that will promote character building and a safe space to develop responsibly. Basketball is a game that translates to life when taught properly and my hope is to provide as many quality opportunities for athletes to enjoy and learn from the game in an environment that fosters growth."
