Russell Gaines

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, basketball has been woven into the fabric of my life from an early age. From neighborhood courts to competitive play, I quickly learned that the true essence of the game lies far beyond the scoreboard — it’s about teamwork, discipline, and building lifelong character.

As a coach, I’m passionate about passing on that legacy. I bring not only a deep understanding of basketball fundamentals but also a commitment to developing the whole athlete. I strive to create an environment where young players grow in skill and self-confidence while learning the values of accountability, resilience, and respect.

My mission is simple: to help each child reach their full potential — on the court and in life. Through structured training, mentorship, and a genuine love for the game, I aim to inspire the next generation to rise as leaders, both in sports and beyond.
