About
In March of 2018, Coach Kareem introduced YKQ Basketball Training, a program dedicated to nurturing and enhancing the skills of aspiring young basketball enthusiasts. Born in the Virgin Islands on St. Croix, he spent his formative years in San Marcos, Texas. After actively participating in basketball for over 14 years, a significant surgery altered his path, leading him to discover his passion for training and coaching the youth in his local community. Kareem's coaching journey began with an AAU select basketball team, and under his guidance, the team achieved the remarkable feat of winning six championships.
