Orion Players Who Played Pro Ball

What I have found to be most impressive with Coach John Shoemaker and his great staff is the time, patience and commitment they show in developing basketball fundamentals.
Clinton Springer Sr.
Orion coaches not only teach the necessary skills to play ball, they also teach the right attitudes for the game, and for life itself.
Tom Godfrey
The Orion experience makes not only exceptional, fundamentally sound players, but better and more complete human beings.
The Vaideswaran Family
The program emphasizes basketball fundamentals, solid team concepts, as well as character development through sport. As a parent, I appreciate the character development focus the most.
Earl Stewart
Not only is my son a better basketball player, but is also a better person for having been part of the Orion program. John Shoemaker's enthusiasm and passion for the game of basketball certainly has impacted my son...HE LOVES THIS GAME!!!!
Earl Stewart
My boys have learned so much from John Shoemaker and the Orion Program. Proper fundamentals, respect, and work ethics. It's a great family to be a part of.
