Welcome to 3rd grade NLPB Jr P32

The NLPB Junior P32 program is the starting point of a long term development pathway. Players begin by learning fundamentals, building confidence, and developing strong habits in a structured and competitive environment. This level introduces young athletes to high level coaching, organized competition, and the expectations of being part of a serious basketball program.

As players grow, they progress through NLPB teams and competitive levels, moving into older age groups and advanced circuits within the program. This pathway creates continuity, consistency, and long term development, allowing athletes to grow within one system as they move from youth basketball into elite competition over time.

Our 4th grade team is led by a coach from Asheville who brings real experience, passion, and deep roots in the game. He grew up playing both basketball and football, developing as a multi sport athlete and learning the value of discipline, teamwork, and work ethic at an early age.

He is also a former travel player in this very program, giving him a unique connection to NLPB and its culture. He went on to attend North Carolina A&T State University, where he played college football, and he was also a varsity sport basketball player. As a second generation basketball coach, he brings both tradition and modern development to his coaching style, helping young athletes learn the game the right way from the very beginning.
