Coach Ktrice
Coach Ktrice is a Coach Across America member in New York City and the 2011 Coach Across America Coach of the Year recipient. Coach Across America (CAA) is an AmeriCorps program launched by Up2Us to provide its member organizations with the support needed to train and host highly effective coaches in sports and youth development.
Ktrice is a NY native influenced by his parents who reminded him daily that “without education you have nothing.” Growing up in an inner city where gang violence and drugs were prevalent, Ktrice understands first-hand that “sports give me and other young people in my community a safe haven to feel secure and feel like there’s not a care in the world.” Ktrice played basketball throughout middle school all the way through college, which gave him discipline and confidence. As a coach, Ktrice aims to use his voice to teach young people that “failure is not an option.”
Thanks to your donation Coach Ktrice can continue to inspire and empower kids through sports.
