The Los Angeles Basketball League, also known as The L.A.Kingz, is a phenomenal youth league. I'm…read morean extremely tough critic, and I literally have nothing bad to say about this outstanding organization.
If you're looking for a league for your son, please take the time to read on.
My son has been playing youth basketball since he was 7 years old. After becoming tired of city funded "leagues" and their revolving door of coaches, we found L.A.Kingz and the incredible Coach Alex and Coach Chris.
Incredible doesn't even do them justice. My son was ok, pretty good, but needed direction and work. Coaches Alex and Chris are able to connect with every player on an individual level to determine how to bring out the best in them, and that is exactly what they did with my son.
My son was also a bit shy at first, and within a few months, he was connected with his teammates, outspoken and happy all of the time. It was so beautiful to see. Words just can't explain the joy I have as a mother watching him shine.
If my son was ill or slightly injured, he would tell me, "Mom, I have to get better soon, I can't let my team down." My son is an only child, and in this league, he found a brotherhood of wonderful and supportive young men.
There is so much to this league. So much. My son is now 14, AND HE IS a BEAST ON THE COURT, a defensive instrument that completes the titanic machine that is his L.A.Kingz team and league.
It's unbelievable how these coaches are able to bring out the best in these kids. That said, it does mean that these players must commit and work hard. One must show this dedication, and in return, he will become the best he can be.
I attribute my son's physical and emotional well-being to this phenomenal league.
I could go on gushing about all of the amazing times and moments my son experienced, but this review is getting a tad long. If you're looking for a league, please give L.A. Kingz a shot (no pun intended)
Thank you so much to all of the coaches and all of the wonderful parents who make this program, IMO, the very best in So Cal. My son is a shining star in sports and his overall well-being thanks to the L.A.Kingz league!
