"The Coaching Academy has brought in some big name coaches.  These coaches have given and shared their insight and knowledge which has been a valuable tool for me on a personal level.  I once met UCLA legendary basketball coach John Wooden who was taking notes at a clinic five years after he retired.  I asked him why he did his.  He smiled and said, "real simple when you think you have all the answers its time to get out of the game, learning is an everyday process."

"During the girl's high school season, our staff has been able to immediately implement what we've learned at the academy the past couple years. The academy can help coaches at all levels!"
Gary Morris, Varsity Girls' Basketball Coach
Farmington Hills Mercy Catholic High School

"I would encourage all coaches to attend the Coaching Academy as often as possible.  Coach Galbenski always has brought in coaches with a wide spectrum of coaching ideas and philosophies.  I have found it to be one of the most informative clinics I have ever attended."
"The Knights Basketball Coaching Academy is one of the most affordable and informative clinics that you will find.  Each year there is a quality group of speakers who present detailed instruction on a variety of topics through on court demonstrations.  I highly recommend this clinic to basketball coaches at any level."
