Where we're from
This is our neighborhood.
Our players live, practice, and play here, which is why the club is built for the community here.
Established in 2026, we are founded by a coach who is from the South Bay for the players and families who are hungry for the challenge and the opportunity to improve their skills to compete.

Founder
Why this club exists.
Years ago, I told a parent I planned to coach high school, run a club, and direct multiple teams. Out of genuine concern, she warned me that it sounded like too much. I went home doubting myself—until I decided to go find out. Ten years later, I ran into that same group of people. I shared what I was doing, and nobody had to say a word. The work answered for itself.
Earlier in life, I was told I might not make it in college basketball, and people urged me to focus on baseball and football instead. They were right to care, but they were wrong about my ceiling.
I don't share this to settle scores. I share it because the athletes I coach will face the exact same doubts—people telling them to be realistic or that their goals are too big. I want them to hear those warnings as concern, not as a verdict. The response remains the same: I'm fine. I can handle it. I was born to do hard things.
TMIC stands for "Tell Me I Can't." The reason why is because people have doubted me my whole life and I kept going. So I want to help the kids who want to improve, challenge the norm, and tell them they can.
Coaching. More than ten years on the sideline. Currently coaching at North High School in Torrance.
