 Avery Sutton 

Hi my name is Avery Sutton and I've always had a passion for hoops and teaching. I take pride in advancing my leadership and studying the craft that is basketball. I have various experience teaching as well as being a student. I am in my final year of Fitness and Health Promotion at Conestoga College and I have studied Recreation & Leisure Service. My goal is to give back to the communities that helped raise me to assist athletes in pursuing and achieving their goals.

Natu Mekasha

 

Hello, my name is Nathanael Mekasha but many know me as Natu. I have lived in Kitchener most of my life and want to give back to my community through basketball which has given me many opportunities and friendships that will last a lifetime. I previously played two seasons at Conestoga College and trained many players that have gone on to play at the USPORTS, OCAA, NJCAA and NCAA levels and I hope to help the next generation of players achieve their goals.

Eddie Omari

Hi, my name is Eddie Omari. From the day I picked up a basketball I fell in love. Basketball has taught me a lot about myself, and about everyday life. Hard work, discipline, overcoming adversity, all these values are applicable to the outside world, and necessary for developing character. Everybody’s path is different. The obstacles along the way vary for each individual, but that's what makes us unique.

Basketball is joy. It has given me the opportunity to travel the world, make new friends, and inspire others. It has instilled in me a championship mentality during my daily approach. It's shown me that even though there are millions of players everywhere with the same goals and aspirations as me, my only true competition is MYSELF. If I can become better than the person I was yesterday, then I am making progress. My goal is to share my experiences, while providing leadership and guidance to effectively make a difference with players everywhere.
 

 Ramla Abdalla

 

Hi, my name is Ramla. I'm a 3rd-year student/varsity athlete at Conestoga College. I'm a multi-sport athlete, not until high-school did I start playing basketball. I fell in love with the sport even though I began at a late age. During my years, having great coaches had an impact on the player that I am today. I was encouraged by the training I got and hope to do the same for others. I'm proud of my leadership and my love of the game. As a player and a team leader, getting the experience of being captain of my team allowed me to develop. My mission is to inspire, assist, and empower athletes to accomplish their goals and drive them to do their best.
