More About Coach Kareem

I have coached/trained Boys and Girls High school basketball for over ten years. I have coached AAU for the Police Athletic League, Kyniska Hoops, and Team Success. I work with Boys and Girls ages 10 and up. I am also currently the Associate Head Girls Basketball Coach and Head Junior Varsity Girls Basketball Coach at Penn Wood High School, Along with being the Vice President of the Team Success Basketball organization and Head Director/ Coach for the Boys division.

I was a 4 year letter winner and Team captain at Rutgers University. Went on to play for the Harlem Globe Trotters. I have received multiple awards throughout my career including Big East First team and second team honors, Leadership award winner, most improved award winner, strength and conditioning award winner, as well as recipient of proclamation for outstanding community service from the city of South Amboy, and many many more.

Clients can expect a taxing experience on the body and mind. We will begin with warm up runs and dynamic stretches, followed by customized ball handling drills, sprints and free throws. Next, we will focus on fundamental shooting and mechanics combined with fundamental layups, mican drill and finishing in traffic with contact. After that, we will focus on combination drills incorporating layups, ball handling and shooting. Fourth, we will work on a series that would highlight foot work, defense, slides, positioning, and conditioning. To finish, we would close with full court shooting, free throws, and stamina conditioning series.

Client Reviews

I was a little nervous at first because of my lack of basketball experience but coach Kareem made me feel comfortable. He showed me shooting and ball handling drills that I continue to work on. He is a great coach and look forward to working with him further in the near future.

Coach Kareem is literally the best coach I have ever had! Not only did he work me to my max, but I have drastically improved since working with him. Even more important then that is that Coach Kareem is ALWAYS positive and inspirational. I have become much better since working with coach Kareem, but even more I have gained a role model for the rest of my life!
Thanks coach

Coach Kareem was awesome! He not only taught me the skills of basketball but also about your mindset. Great workout! Can't wait to do it again.

We had a great session with Coach Kareem Sunday . My son loved the instruction . After one session my sons shooting improved greatly . Can't wait to book another session .

This coach is a Beast! Meaning he loves what he does for the kids... I am very excited that my son was able to become part of Team Success and get coached, and mentored by a male who actually cares. Thanks for all you do!
Good morning: You are awesome as a coach. Very caring and compassionate. You give our children the tools to not only succeed in the sports world, but most importantly life. Thank you for being an inspiration and mentor to my children and grandchildren. Thank you, Ms. Helen
Kareem Wright is a dedicated coach; who is not only passionate about the game of basketball, but is equally passionate about each of his players. He spends time on & off the court mentoring & encouraging players to be their best & to give their best at all times.
My son is a young and talented ball player. What I appreciate most about Coach Kareem's coaching style is the emphasis on commitment, teamwork, discipline and attitude. It's great to have a coach that is as invested as we are in helping our son develop the type of character that will keep him where ever his talents take him!
