Testimonials

Coach Aleks and his dominate program have done more for our son in one ear than any other program we have been a part of. Coach Aleks' serious, but warm nature and love for the game of basketball combined with his skill and mindset regarding sports and life in general are transforming our son as an athlete and a better person. Coach Aleks brings determination, focus and positivity to every practice and game. He teaches the children the importance of listening, practicing, fairness and drive. We highly recommend Coach Aleks and the Dominate program!

Thank you so much for the great season! Luke enjoyed all the practices and games. Luke grew so much as an individual player as well as a team player this season. He has played for 5 club teams/organizations in past and I think he had the best experience with Dominate. Please keep us posted about your winter training sessions and vouth athletic facility.

Yuki Stein

You did a really great job. I liked the way you had these kids move the ball and play unselfishly. They got after it on defense, made the right pass, most of the time, and moved without the ball. I was very impressed and happy Alex received teaching on how to play basketball the right way. Keep doing what you are doing and thanks for a great year.

Coach Aleks always pushes our team. He has developed our team in a way that we get along with each other really well. Our team chemistry has improved, and we've played better defense individually and as a team

Alex Manalang

Aleks has taught the kids a knowledge of basketball that most kids don’t learn until high school. He is very focused on the details and makes sure the kids understand them as well. He teaches discipline and respect and the kids understand what is expected of them from the very beginning. He truly cares about his players and wants to see them excel.

Aleksandar’s basketball experience on the court as well as his method of instruction translate to our children not only being better basketball players but all-around better kids

Hope you had a nice thanksgiving! Rich and I want to thank you for a great season! We appreciate your dedication and support. Chase has not only gained new game skills but he is also understanding the importance of discipline, listening and being a part of a team;) We look forward to another great season.

Rich

Thank you for the season and guiding players to have a great experience. Of course I was disappointed to be honest at how lan was not given opportunities and had to seat the game in numerous time. However, in the end, I believe he learned a very important lesson in life, just little different from other kids in the team. For that I am thankful. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into this team to make them the champion. lan truly looked upto you and respected all your coaching and decisions.

Over a short period of time, Andrew's skill level, understanding and commitment to the game has improved. Alek has the attention of the entire team in practice and this translates over to gameday. There really is no comparison to other programs in the local area and I envision this group of kids continuing to compete hard and winning a lot of games in the years ahead. Alek, thank you for starting Dominate and keep up the great work!

Coach Aleks was a tremendous influence over my son, showing him what the "next level" of basketball competition entailed and really drew a new level of commitment out of my son. I saw all of the boys on the team show tremendous fundamental improvements…especially in their defense skills.

Jeff Piluso

My son has had the gift of working with Coach Aleks for a few years now. His respect for himself as an athlete and as a team player is a hallmark of all DOMINATE players. They are all dedicated and determined and are all committed to their coach and team and this is encouraged from day 1. Aleks breaks down the game, the fundamentals, skills and the mental game of being an athlete in an age appropriate yet challenging environment. The Dominate program is like no other.
