Nurturing Environment

CHAMPIONS 4 LIFE

If there is one thing that we remain consistent on at Baller4Life Elite, it is that education is the highest priority. We talk about it often and bring together an environment where the expectation is to always do your best. We feel that this brings about a focus and confidence that translates into all parts of our players’ lives. Our program is for players of all levels; however, many of our alumni have taken steps toward the top and are succeeding in their academic lives as well as athletic:

After leading Tustin HS through CIF, he earned scholarships and played football for Utah and Utah State while earning his BA and Master's degrees. Siaosi recently signed a free agent contract with the Ottawa Redblacks and we can’t wait to watch him play!

"Hi Coach Larry! I wanted to thank you and Baller4Life for all that you've done to help my kids get to the next level. Myrrah was 9 and Lil Marcus was 7 years old when we first met you & your Coaching Staff. They were both shy at first, but with your encouragement .... they jumped right in and never looked back. Now they are both D1 Athletes attending University of Hawaii & Lafayette College on full ride scholarships.

Our family appreciates all the training, time, and support you have given, not only to our kids ... but others, as well. Take Care & God Bless"

"I want to thank Coach Larry and Baller4Life for helping my son grow as a young athlete. They taught my son to play the game the right way and the fundamentals that helped him get a D1 scholarship. I will always be thankful for the long friendship that I have with Coach Larry and the Baller4Life family"

After earning his BA in only 3 years, he went on to gain his Masters at Golden Gate U. Malik now works as a tax associate at KPMG US in San Francisco and we couldn’t be more proud of him!

"Baller4Life is a very great program for many. I grew up as a child in Coach Larry's program. The lessons I have learned took me from elementary, high school and through college. I am grateful for the great training I attained and am a proud Alumni indeed! The training received not only benefited me physically but mentally, socially and emotionally. Looking forward to a reunion in the future. I would recommend this program for all!"

After graduating Huntington Beach HS Tyler went on to attend UCLA where he interned for the NASA jet propulsion laboratory. Tyler is now an electronics engineer at Northrop Grumman and someone we're very proud of!

It has been nothing short of a pleasure watching Baller4Life grow into the amazing program it is today. As one of Coach Larry’s first students and players, I’ve always been honored to be an alumnus of his. He has played a very impactful role in shaping me into the man I am today and I can’t thank him enough for that. Teaching his players to love the game of basketball and to be better humans is one of Larry’s many incredible strengths. I have nothing but love and admiration for this beautiful program and its coaches.
