CMEK was founded in 1997 by Chad Mekles. Originally the acronym CMEK stood for Chad Mekles Expert with Kids. As the program has evolved and developed, the following motto has been established.
C – Confidence
M – Motivation
E – Excellence
K – Knowledge
CMEK is the premier Basketball Program geared towards the development of kids’ abilities in Basketball. Our coaching staff helps young athletes make challenging goals for themselves and helps them pursue those goals.
We strive to maintain a balance between teaching and fun, structure and freedom, and supervision and competition. It remains our view that these years are filled with fun and excitement for our participants. We recognize that every single player is different, and so we try to organize teams by placing kids into groups where each feels comfortable participating.
At CMEK, our coaching staff is specifically trained for their leadership positions. The coaches are passionate and display a superior ability to interact with and instruct our players. Perhaps most importantly, each is trained to encourage young athletes through positive encouragement.
On behalf of the coaching staff, I invite you to browse for more detailed information, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Wishes Always,
Chad Mekles
Program Director
