At Sirju Basketball Academy we take pride in our mentorship, coaching, and training for your child. We love to challenge your child, keeping them engaged on and off the basketball court while also having a great time. We love to teach them that hard work will always take you far in life, and there is no substitutions for hard work! We also stress the importance of being academically focused while in school. Academics will always come first before basketball. Good habits start at home, which transitions to school, then Carrie’s over on the basketball court. We are here to help your child become the best individual they can be on and off the basketball court!

Sirju Basketball academy was started by Coach Richard Sirju & his wife Kelly Sirju.
We have lived in port Orange for 5 years now and 2 years ago we began searching for basketball training in the area and couldn’t find much. With our youngest son being very skilled in the sport at the young age of 3, it was nearly impossible to find something for kids that young. So we decided to make it happen!
Coach Rich has been playing basketball for the last 20 years. my journey was not always easy, I tried out my 6th,7th and 8th grade and never made the team. So when I got to high school instead of being disappointed again I decided not to try out for the team my 9th grade year. I decided to play basketball every day and work harder than anyone I knew. Then my 10th grade year had a break out year and I played high school ball at Piper then went on to play college ball at Daytona state as a PG/SG. Then went on to play division 1 at Utah state university.
Coach Rich is known for his 3 point shot :)
He has a strong love for the sport and a great desire to teach youth the game!
Assistant Coach Kelly didn’t play basketball but she has worked with kids for the last 15 years, specifically children with autism & special needs. She loves to work with kids that may not otherwise be able to play basketball in a traditional competitive basketball setting. She has grown to learn & love basketball by watching her sons love for the game.
Paired together they make a great coaching team with a ton of knowledge and patience.
The Sirju’s are also foster parents and strive to make a difference in our youth every day, whether it’s through the sports of basketball or providing a child with a safe place they can call home.
We also have Coach Kevin
Coach Kevin & Coach Rich met at the post office where they work and shared their love for basketball!
Coach Kevin has a message
Hello and greetings to all kids, parents, and grandparents. My name is Kevin James. I would like to thank you for placing your trust in Coach Rich, Coach Kelly, as well as myself, to instill some wisdom & guidance in your child’s life.
If you notice I haven’t mentioned basketball yet.
That’s because what we do is bigger than the game. Everything we install within our sessions of our camp are tools your child can carry with them throughout life.
Hard work ! That’s the key to success.
We preach that there is no replacement.
As a coach here at Sirju basketball academy I would like to share some things about myself.
