Coach Byron Blair
High School: Junipero Serra | Hometown: Gardena,CA
Coach Byron Blair is our latest coaching addition. He is originally from Gardena, Ca and attended Junipero Serra High School. He was a two-sport athlete playing baseball and football and after a brief minor league baseball experience he and a family member started a non-profit youth development program in the Los Angeles area that focused on teaching and mentoring young men and women through sports. With more than 25 years of youth coaching experience, he is known for his attention to offensive fundamentals and defensive principles. He has been a valued member of our Hawk Hoops program advisory board for two years and now he is a respected member of our coaching staff. Looking forward to see all youth players benefit from his teachings while preparing for their future.
