Mission Statement
Our mission is to teach, coach and inspire young athletes to be great teammates and leaders on and off the court.
Where it started
Coaches Ryan and Matt have known each other for over 15 years, beginning when Ryan was a camper in Matt Paul Basketball in 2004.
Fast forward, the student is now teaching the teacher how he and Swarthmore College built a championship program.
Together we are teaching the kids to have “The Next Play Mentality” that will make them successful on and off the court. We are focused on creating a positive environment where players develop their game, confidence and leadership skills.
