TRAINING WITH CHAMPIONS

FLIGHT BASKETBALL

THE FLIGHT PATH

PA Flight basketball club was established in June 2020 by Coach John Rizzo. Flight players will be provided with opportunities to grow, compete, and appreciate the game of basketball.

We are more than a select group of players that compete in tournaments. Coaching will focus on not losing sight of teaching the game through skill development, situational play, and team concepts.

Joining the Flight Team will provide players with experienced coaching, competition at AAU sanctioned tournaments, and priority access to camps, clinics, and workouts.

FLIGHT PATH TESTIMONALS

TIFF LAPOTSKY

Former All American & All PSAC East Stroudsburg University

"Coach Rizzo has taken my game to the next level. He is respected among many due to his positivity, intelligence, dedication, and enthusiasm. Coach Rizzo has spent countless hours in the gym to better my game by drilling in the fundamentals both physically and mentally. The most valuable lesson I learned from Coach is that the game is about “effort” and “attitude.” By putting in the long hours and having the right mindset, a player becomes successful.

From his dedication, our team won a Schuylkill League Title, and I was named Republican Herald Player of the Year and 2nd team All-State. His passion and dedication for enhancing my game didn’t end there. Coach Rizzo worked diligently with college coaches to get me to play at the next level. Through his assistance, I decided to continue my academic and athletic career at East Stroudsburg University."
