Why Rise Basketball

Built different from day one

1

On-campus convenience

No driving to another facility. Kids walk from class to the court. Parents pick up right where they already are — the simplest afterschool win for busy families.

2

Professional coaching, age-appropriate

15+ years coaching ages 3–17 means your K–2 child gets fundamentals through play, not pressure — while your 3rd–5th grader gets real skill development every single session.

3

Small groups, real attention

Enrollment caps keep groups small enough that every child gets genuine coaching feedback every session — not just time on the court.

4

Built to grow with them

From the 5-year-old taking their first dribble to the 10-year-old running real plays — same coach, same values, same place. Kids grow up inside Rise, not out of it.

Your school community already knows us

Rise Basketball is led by Matthew Gevargiz — a La Jolla parent, active school volunteer, and the coach many families in the community already trust with their kids.

This isn't an outside vendor. We're your neighbors — building something for this community specifically.
