Coach Charles Richardson comes from a rich tradition of basketball. He was taught the fundamentals at an early age.  His Father and Uncle played at River Rouge High School and won two state championships each for the legendary Lofton Greene, the "winningest" high school coach in Michigan history.  His Uncle Park was also All American.  

 

Charles played High School for Coach Coley Johnson and Michigan Hall of Fame Coach Ben Sierra who both helped him have a successful high school career. Ben Sierra named Charles one of his top 10 players of all time. Also on that list was NFL Coach Tony Dungy. 

Charles is the all time leading scorer at Columbia Central High School in Michigan and played Division 1 Basketball at Liberty University where he still holds three point shooting records.  Charles has coached at every level including high school, college, NBA and has been running his training business for close to 20 years.
Because of Charles knowledge and experience he has been hired by the top coaches in the industry to work with their sons and players.
