More About Coach Justin
I have been coaching for 6 years. I have coached for High School, Community, Club and AAU programs in Canada and the Caribbean. I have coached for the following organizations YMCA, Mississauga Monarchs (club), Thunder Bay Blaze (club), CIA Bounce (AAU). I have also coached overseas in the Caribbean at Gingeland Secondary School in St. Kitts and Nevis. I typically work with ages 4-18 years old. I have a Level One National Coaching Certificate Program (NCCP) Coaching certificate through Basketball Ontario. I also have a Level One and Two International Olympic Commitee (IOC) Coaching Certificate through Coach Terry Layton who is an International Basketball Coach, F.I.B.A. Expert and member of the World Basketball Coaching Association.
I played four years of collegiate basketball at York University and Lakehead University in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Conference in Canada. I studied Kinesiology/Exercise Science. I was also a National Team member for the St. Kitts and Nevis National the Caribbean in 2014.
As a coach, I always tailor my program to meet your specific needs and goals. My program will vary depending on your age, skill level and position. In general, I am very technically sound, fundamentally focus and I create programs that are fun and will always challenge you!!! We will always start with a dynamic warm up which can also consist of agility and reactive drills. We would do ball handling drills from stationary to attacking off the dribble. We would work on footwork; triple threat, pivoting, jab series, ect... We would also work on layup package, passing, shooting techniques, picks and screens, in-game situation drills ect...

Dekwan Walker-Mississauga Monarchs player ( age 11) (Testimonial)
Thanks coach Justin for taking the time to teach me new moves and learn about basketball. You were very patient with me and the team. I had a lot of fun and wished you were my coach for my next program. Most favorite part of your development class was learning how to properly do a lay up and game time taking all that I learned and using it. Your an amazing coach. Thanks.
Alex Lambevski-Mississauga Monarchs (Head Coach) (Testimonial)
Justin Bell is a gifted coach who, in his time with the MMBA, impressed everyone he worked with. He is a coach who wants to better his craft: attending clinics, getting his coaching certification, always looking to learn the newest drills, skills and best ways to teach them. A true professional, everything he does is very well thought out, carefully planned, and broken down to ensure that all players are challenged, engaged and able to improve. I had the pleasure of running multiple development sessions and a march break camp with him and we were able to create a blueprint for all future MMBA camps. The kids love him, not just because he is a nice guy, but because he is fair, earns their respect and really goes out of his way to make a personal connection with each one. Justin Bell will be greatly missed by every kid, coach and parent he worked with, but I know that wherever the world takes him, the basketball players in that area are going to get a lot better.
Amy Wong (Mississauga Monarchs parent) (Testimonial)
Last year my twin boys started basketball lessons with a local coach. They didn’t like it. They were bored. So I tried getting them a new coach. I was extremely lucky to have found Coach Justin. After a few lessons with him, I observed drastic changes in the boys. They now LOVE basketball so much that they play the game during all school recesses. Even the school gym teacher was amazed by how they had improved in the sport within a few months. I asked the boys why? Both of them answered unequivocally Coach Justin. They told me that they were influenced by Coach Justin’s Passion for the sport. He taught them to try hard and aim high. Go for the school team! Coach Justin placed an emphasis on drills and made the game fun. He was always generous in sharing what he knew and insisted on the best warm up exercises and drills you could imagine. He loved coaching and constantly offered suggestions for improvement. My boys also played other sports and came across some good coaches. I have to say that Coach Justin is the best coach that my boys have ever had. I highly recommend him to any young people who aspire to play basketball well.
Asher- Mississauga Monarchs player (age 11) (Testimonial)
Here are several reasons why I liked having you as a coach. Coach Justin always explains why we are practicing that drill. He is always looking to correct people. He corrects people in a nice way that makes people want to get better and he turns the drills into fun games. Thanks again for helping to make me a better basketball player.
Rachel Marcus- Mississauga Monarchs Development Coach (Testimonial)
Justin is the kind of coach that breathes life into a basketball program. He is disciplined, fun and a very knowledgeable basketball coach with a great love for the game. His great sense of humor and dynamic ability to adapt to anything thrown his way make him the kind of coach you'd want associated with your program.
