Testimonials
I have so much respect for what Coach Pina is doing teaching basketball to kids of all ages. He has a true love and passion for the game. I’ve seen it firsthand with my granddaughter, Hayden. Her improvement working with Coach Pina, from shooting to ball handling to her overall knowledge of the game, has been so much fun to watch. I can’t wait to see what her future holds and I would recommend Coach Pina regardless of age or skill level.

I’ve known Coach Pina for a long time and I can assure you he’s a person you want your child to work with. He’s always been supportive of me and been willing to do whatever he can to help me throughout my career. The way he uses his passion for the game, along with his knowledge of the game, along with the genuine personality he carries provides for a great coach. Coach Pina has done so much for me as a player and as a man that I’m forever grateful for. Not only is he a coach, but he’s truly a friend. I would recommend Coach Pina to any family.

Tied NCAA record for most 3 pointers in Division 1 game with 15
Coach Pina has been a big influence for me both as a player and coach! His love and passion for basketball is contagious and he creates confidence in those he works with. From going to his camps since I was five years old to training with him while I played in college, he consistently supported and encouraged me. He teaches the game the right way, which separates him from most.

As a player who benefited from Coach Pina's basketball camps, as well as private lessons, I highly recommend training by Coach Pina based on his ability to build skill-sets, set goals and achieve results. Coach Pina elevated me from a player with potential to an exceptional one. By my junior year in high school, I had surpassed the 1,000 point plateau, and became 3rd in the State for three pointers made. Coach Pina is focused on the player as a whole (physical, mental, nutritional, educational, etc) - not just results on the court.

Our son has been working with Dave for 2+ years. We’ve seen a huge improvement in his ball handling skills and shooting accuracy. The biggest boost, however, was to his overall confidence. Dave’s integrity is beyond reproach and he truly invests himself in his students. In my son’s words, “He’s not only a great trainer but also a lifelong friend”.

I have 2 daughters that have been attending Coach Pina’s summer camps and training sessions for 10-plus years and I have always been appreciative of the coaching and mentoring they have received from him. Coach Pina has a great approach and demeanor in coaching/teaching these kids and sincerely cares about their continual growth and development.
