Testimonials
"Thank you for SEEING my son." - Mom of a 9th grader
"My son left his 1-on-1 session feeling energized and improved. He was quite surprised at how much he had learned in such a short amount time. He is definitely looking forward to the next sessions, and taking advantage of your expertise. Thank you for being a role model for him." - Mom of an 8th grader
"I wish all coaches had your integrity [Coach Carrillo]. Basketball lasts for a while, but being a good man lasts a lifetime." - Mom of a 10th grader
"My son hit a BIG 3 for the win last night and attributes it to the 1-on-1 training you guys provide." - Mom of a 6th grader
"On the way home we were all talking about how awesome the Centennials program is. We've never seen our son have more fun playing basketball and he really likes being around the guys and the coaches." - 2017 summer dad
"My son said he had FUN and wants to do it again. He really liked his coach!" - Mom of 6th & 9th Grade Siblings
"Just wanted to say thanks for the very good and thorough lesson last Sunday. I think you really hit on the key areas my son needed help with. He definitely looked better in his games Monday night in the Gold Crown Foundation's High School Prep Development League. He'll need to keep working hard to ingrain the fundamentals you worked on, but I think he'd forgotten a few things and the areas you worked with him on was a much needed review!" –Parent of a freshman
"Your program is one of the stronger ones for developing kids that I have seen." –12U Boys Team Parent
"Thank you for your insight and help with my son. I'm so happy to see a coach making him think and learn during practice. I know not all agree with you, that's what impressed me most to see first-hand the struggle you have. Not every parent will understand and appreciate the life lessons you coach, but I wanted to take the time to tell you THANK YOU. My son and I talked and he understands that's needed and for him to learn as much as he can from you!" –15U Boys Team Parent
"Just wanted to say thanks again to you and his team's coach. My son is a confident kid in many areas, as he should be. But starting late in Basketball -- and feeling like he was behind the better players in skill and experience -- his "basketball" confidence has never been real high. But you both have really helped his confidence and belief in his own ability. And I'm sure that goes for a lot of kids in the club. Keep up the good work!" –Parent of 8th Grader - 2016 spring season
"Our son had a great time with the clinic. He was pretty tired by the time we got home ;)." –Parent of 8th Grader
"I wanted to thank you for taking the time to work with my son. You really cheered him up after not making his high school team. He took the time and read your evaluation and is excited to work on areas of his game that need improvement. We will definitely look into working with you some more. Thanks again." –Parent of 10th Grader
"Thank you for all the effort. Our son loved playing." –Parent of 7th Grader
"Thank you very much for letting our son participate even though he isn't a 'star' player. And in this short time, he already sees you as a role model, so thank you for that as well." –Parent of 11th Grader
"I like Coach Armando. He's really nice and he inspires me to be better and try my hardest."–11th Grade Player
"You and your fellow coaches had a terrific blend of encouragement and teaching. I love the emphasis on effort, 'will over skill' especially at this level is a mantra I try and instill in my boys. I can see the guys you have coached play hard with good fundamentals and sportsmanship and that is what I want my boys to learn." –Parent of 8th and 2nd grade boys

Yourself and your coaching staff showed great patience and a certain latitude towards the kids but when necessary demanded their attention and respect." –Parent of 8th grader
