PROGRAM UPDATES:
VOLUNTEER COACH OF THE WEEK!
Coach Daryl Hatfield
Coach Daryl is a Riverside High School graduate who found his way back to his hometown to get involved with Del Riv Basketball. He works hard to instill not just fundamental basketball skills in his players but to teach them life skills through basketball. With a vast knowledge of the game, Coach Daryl continues to build up his young players and help prepare them for what is to come. Every Sunday since the start of this season until now, you can see the improvement in his team, which is the main focus in our program. We are grateful to be able to utilize his knowledge and the wide range of skills he brings into the program.
Thank you Coach Daryl! We are very grateful for everything you do at Del Riv!
