"Too small." "Too
slow." "Too skinny."..."Too
bad!"
Little did
his detractors know. After accepting a full
four-year scholarship to the University of
Pittsburgh, Director Jason Maile would prove the
doubters wrong. They didn't realize the quiet kid
from Forest City, Pennsylvania was going to end
up leading the powerful Big East Conference
in 3-point shooting and go on to a
successful professional career.
Through
a combination of natural ability, hard work and
dogged determination, Jason took his game to the
next level.

While Jason's accomplishments are many, his
clinics are all about you. He says, "I
want to take what I have learned from so many great
coaches and players, and from teaching at so many camps,
and help kids realize their full potential. As a young
person, I don't think you realize how good you can be
with the right guidance and your own dedication. It's my
goal to help every player I teach raise their game to the
next level, whether that means making them a better
elementary or high school player, or planting the seeds
of success for a future college or NBA star."
