Jalen Birch

Assistant Coach

Coach Jalen has been playing basketball for over 15 years at various levels.
He started to teach the game right after high school as a camp leader at a basketball camp for youth. Coach Jalen was organizing and coaching kids from ages 7-11 with an emphasis on improving their basketball skills and

knowledge for the game. It was important to him to be creative with the different drills and game implements to continue challenging his campers throughout the summer.

This past year was Coach Jalen's first time being an assistant coach for an organized rep girls basketball team. Seeing the kids get better throughout the season is the greatest joy for him as a coach and what motivates him to continue learning and become a better leader to put his teams and players in a better position to succeed on the basketball floor and in life.
