TESTIMONIALS

"Sam consistently demonstrates exceptional dedication to his role, going above and beyond to support and inspire his participants. His genuine care and thoughtful mentoring create a positive and trusting environment where young people feel valued and motivated. Through his focused approach to skill development, he not only improves their performance but also nurtures confidence and personal growth."

Taner Adu, Coach Manager, Greenhouse Sports

"Working with Sam Cricelli in Worthing was an exceptional experience. His basketball coaching is truly top-level, professional, detailed, and always geared toward improving performance on and off the court. Sam has a sharp eye for the technical and tactical elements of the game, and he communicates with clarity and purpose.

What made his support even more valuable for me was his fluency in both English and Italian. This bilingual ability was vital in bridging any language gaps and ensuring that every concept, instruction, and correction was fully understood.

Sam's coaching went beyond drills - he created an environment that was challenging, inclusive, and completely focused on growth.

I'd highly recommend Sam to any player or program looking for a coach who delivers elite-level basketball development with the added bonus of multilingual support."

"It is with pleasure that I write this reference/testimonial for Mr Sam Cricelli. While Sam was delivering basketball sessions with me he was not just a great coach but also a mentor for children to look up to. After a distinguished professional basketball career in Europe as well as the BBL (now SLB), which is the top division in England, he began his coaching journey.

Sam is a true professional who is very passionate about delivering basketball sessions within primary and secondary schools.

Sam is reliable and he always has the ability to raise the bar and generate interest within schools when he is coaching.

I would have no hesitation recommending Sam to ay schools looking for an external basketball coach."
