WHAT FAMILIES SAY

We feel incredibly fortunate that our boys have had the opportunity to be coached by Coach Wallen.

What makes him special is that you can tell he truly cares. He loves the game, he loves teaching it, and he genuinely wants every kid to get better. He teaches his players to understand the game — not just how to score, but where to be with the ball, how to move without it, how to defend, and how to play the game the right way.

Coach Wallen is demanding and holds his players to a high standard, but he balances that perfectly with being fair. The kids know what is expected of them, and he holds them accountable while always treating them with respect. He pushes them because he believes in what they are capable of, and that combination of discipline, fairness and genuine care is a big part of what makes him such a great coach.

More than anything, Coach Wallen is helping develop good young men — players who understand effort, respect, accountability and what it means to be a great teammate.

As parents, that means a lot to us. We are genuinely grateful for the time, energy and heart Coach Wallen gives these kids and for the positive impact he has had on our sons, both on and off the court. We look forward to seeing even more growth, development and exciting times ahead at the School of Excellence.

The coaches at SOE are full of passion, commitment and knowledge for the game of basketball! My son played for Coach Yannick last year and I watched him develop not only in the skills of basketball, but as a leader, teammate, and young man. Coach had a way of knowing when and how to push and challenge my son to grow and improve on and off the court. Since the 1st practice with SOE, there has been a culture of excellence and the feeling of ‘family’ being fostered and encouraged. We truly love and appreciate this crew and look forward to what is ahead!

SOE has truly shown itself to be more than a club; it feels like family. The level of commitment and genuine care poured into each player is remarkable. Beyond basketball, the discipline, mentorship, and emotional support the kids receive create an environment where they feel valued, confident, and free to express themselves. It’s a community that nurtures them on and off the court, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.

Our experience with S.O.E Basketball has been truly outstanding. Coach Yannick is incredibly patient and has continuously developed our child’s skills, court confidence, and overall willingness to grow. He doesn’t just coach; he teaches them how to truly excel, develop their basketball IQ, and constantly improve their game.

Thank you so much to the entire coaching team at S.O.E—this youth basketball program has cultivated such a positive, motivating, and life-changing experience for our child!
