About Kaitlyn

Driven by a passion for basketball and over a decade of coaching experience, I empower athletes to reach their full potential. My coaching blends technical expertise with a fun, supportive approach, fostering both skill development and a love for the game.

What students say...

"The lesson with Kaitlyn was quite good, especially appreciated how she focused on specific techniques that helped my shooting accuracy. Though I wasn’t expecting much, I did pick up a few useful pointers, though more drills could really help I think. Still, it’s worth giving her a try if you want a coach who's attentive and steady.
