Reviews
Coach Helped My Son Earn A D1 Scholarship
Coach Lee DeForest was instrumental in putting my son in the position to compete against high level competition as well as in front of college coaches. He also used travel time to show players the different places around the country. That is something I think that's very important to the maturity of young men. My son matured and received a D1 scholarship.

Awesome Job Getting My Son Ready
My son played for Coach DeForest and he did an awesome job with my son. He was a great mentor, and did a fantastic job in getting him ready for the next level. My son had zero offers coming out of high school, and after completing his time at FCP, he had plenty of offers. Thank you Coach and FCP!!!

Truly Connected With Players
Our son had the opportunity to play for Coach DeForest this past year. He is a talented coach and very passionate about the game and truly connected with his players. His commitment to see them succeed on and off the court sets him apart.

A Real Professional With Patience
My son played for Coach DeForest this past season, and I have to say that he is real professional as a coach and great person with a lot of patience for teaching today's kids to play and adapt to a higher level of play. He is a role model for wherever he coaches. I highly recommend!

Coach DeForest Was Exemplary
I was informed that Coach Lee DeForest has joined the FCP program. By selecting him, you have secured a giant of a coach who understands how to teach the boys life skills as he teaches them basketball. My son played post-graduate ball for Coach DeForest during the 2018-2019 year. My wife and I went to every game and during every game, Coach DeForest was exemplary in the way he managed the game, engaged the players, and successfully positioned each player to contribute regardless of the skill level.
