Meet Our Founder & Head Coach:
Passion and Expertise Combined
Coach Hosni Ali, Head Coach & Founder, has a background in teaching, coaching, and providing therapeutic recreation for youth with behavioral health conditions and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Coach Ali has conducted basketball skills training for over a decade. He also played professionally overseas for several years in China, Italy, India and Egypt. Coach Ali is known for being a versatile player with remarkable ball-handling skills, impeccable defensive footwork, excellent rebounding techniques, and hardworking hustle plays.
​
His approach to training emphasizes skill and age-appropriate drills. Coach Ali is an expert in the field of basketball with a desire to teach the fundamentals of the game to the youth, all while being a positive role model.
Coach Ali started H.A. Level Up Basketball Training program to give youth the opportunity to learn the proper fundamentals of the game, teaching youth to play “the right way.” As a young player, Coach Ali did not have the opportunity to be taught by great coaches, which affected his self esteem and development on the court.
​
Coach Ali has vowed to be an asset to each and every youth within his program, providing them with one of a kind training. When one becomes a part of H.A. Level Up, they become family.
