TESTIMONIALS

What Athletes & Parents Say

New to the Providence area from Ga. Coach Curry & WWBA was recommended by a former NBA player.
I have been with WWBA for 3 months, my daughter skill development has changed a lot. He really focuses on the details(handles, creating space, shot selection, etc.), execution, and the player confidence to perform at a high level consistently.

Choosing WWBA for my son has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the moment he started, we could see the difference in his skill, discipline, and understanding of the game. The coaches here are not only experts in basketball but also exceptional mentors who genuinely care about each player’s growth on and off the court. They tailor their approach to bring out the best in each athlete, pushing them to reach their full potential.

Coach Curry is the BEST thing that has happened to my daughter Jalah. With his immense knowledge and experience, my daughter is becoming that fundamentally sound basketball player I know her to be. Coach Curry is a treasure and we are thankful everyday for Worldwide Basketball Academy! Definitely bring your kids to him. He WILL get them right!!!

Amanda Pabon

Parent · RI

My kids have been training with Sharaud for 6 months and have improved significantly. He tailors their training to meet their needs and help them achieve their goals. My oldest son had lost his love for basketball and working with Sharaud has not only gotten his skills up and increased his confidence, he really looks up to him as a strong role model and mentor. My boys have trained at a few places in New England and Sharaud is definitely the most effective and impactful trainer that they’ve had. I highly recommend going to him!

Coach Curry is amazing! He truly cares about the development of the kids. I would recommend WWBA for any parent who would like to see their child take the next step.
