More About Coach Elijah
I am the founder and head coach of my own AAU program, currently coaching an 8th-grade team, having been with this group since they were in 5th grade. In the past, I’ve coached teams from 9U to 16U, demonstrating my long-term commitment to developing young athletes. In addition to coaching, I run basketball training pods for athletes as young as 4 years old, focusing on fundamental skill development.
I’m also the assistant basketball coach at Rockland Community College, where we work with scholarship athletes. My experience includes running camps, clinics, and team practices for athletes aged 4 to 20, as well as working with Division 2 athletes at my alma mater. I’m passionate about sharing my basketball knowledge and helping coachable players reach their full potential.
I played collegiate basketball at Concordia College, a Division II NCAA program. As a three-year starter, team captain, and scholarship athlete, I gained valuable experience leading my team both on and off the court. My time at Concordia helped me develop a strong work ethic, leadership skills, and a deep understanding of the game.
Before my collegiate career, I played for a New Jersey state championship as a senior in high school and returned to back-to-back sectional championships. These experiences at both the high school and collegiate levels have shaped me into a passionate and knowledgeable coach, dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential.
I believe in creating tailored workouts designed to meet the unique needs of each athlete. Whether the player is a beginner or advanced, I focus on developing fundamental skills while adapting drills to target individual strengths and areas for improvement.
Core Focus Areas:
Ball Handling – Essential for all positions, ball handling drills will focus on improving control, speed, and confidence with both hands. These drills will include:
Stationary and dynamic ball handling
Dribbling under pressure
Change of direction and pace
Shooting – A critical skill for every player, shooting drills will focus on:
Form and mechanics
Catch-and-shoot and off-the-dribble shots
Range and shot selection
Footwork and Agility – To improve balance, movement, and positioning on the court:
Pivoting, jump stops, and fast break footwork
Defensive slides and closeouts
Agility ladder and cone drills
Game IQ and Decision Making – Helping players make better decisions on the court:
Game situations (pick-and-roll, transition)
Reading defenses
Timing and spacing
Tailored Approach:
Each session is customized to the athlete’s skill level and goals. I assess strengths and areas for growth to ensure workouts are challenging, yet achievable. By focusing on both fundamentals and personalized development, I help players build confidence and succeed in game situations.
