CBAthletics is more than just a sports organization — we’re a movement dedicated to shaping athletes and building communities through sport. From basketball courts to football fields, from the track to the baseball diamond, we empower young athletes to discover their potential, grow their skills, and embrace the values of hard work, teamwork, and perseverance. Our mission extends beyond competition; we aim to instill lifelong lessons that prepare athletes not just for the game, but for life.
Being part of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) is a reflection of our commitment to youth sports at every level. Much like AAU, CBAthletics believes in creating opportunities across a variety of sports — from basketball and football to track & field and little league. As AAU members, we gain access to a network that shares our passion for athletic development, providing athletes with the chance to compete on a national stage, grow through mentorship, and be part of something bigger than the game itself. It’s more than competition — it’s about building character, community, and a foundation for lifelong success.
Coach B’s journey is a testament to the power of sports and the impact of giving back. Growing up immersed in athletics, he experienced firsthand the life-changing lessons that come from being part of a team — discipline, perseverance, and the drive to always push for more. From the fields and courts of New York to the heart of Louisiana, sports shaped his path, instilling values that would guide him long after the final whistle.
For Coach B, coaching is more than a role — it’s a calling. From mentoring young athletes in basketball, football, track & field, and beyond, to running CBAthletics as a nonprofit, his passion lies in creating opportunities for the next generation. He understands the importance of community, growth, and providing the same kind of guidance that helped him along his journey. Whether on the sidelines or behind the scenes, Coach B’s mission is clear: to empower youth through sports, helping them discover not just who they are, but who they’re capable of becoming.
I wanted to take a moment to share something from the heart. Whether we’ve shared the court, the field, or the track before — or whether our journey is just beginning — I want you to know how proud I am of each and every one of you.
To my past players: Thank you. Coaching you has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I’ve watched you grow, not just as athletes but as people. You’ve shown me what hard work, heart, and determination really mean. Every practice, every game, and every moment we spent together reminded me why I do this — because of you. You’ve left a lasting impression on me, and no matter where life takes you, remember that you’ll always be part of the CBAthletics family.
To my future players: I can’t wait to meet you. I’m excited to see your passion, your energy, and your willingness to learn. Here at CBAthletics, we’re not just about sports — we’re about building character, making lifelong friends, and creating memories that will last forever. My promise to you is that I’ll always be in your corner, cheering you on, pushing you to be your best, and helping you believe in yourself.
Sports taught me some of the most important lessons in life — about teamwork, respect, and never giving up. My hope is that through our time together, you’ll discover those lessons too and carry them with you long after the game ends.
I believe in you. I’m proud of you. And I can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish.
With gratitude,
