THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S HIGHEST-RATED
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
HEY, I'M CHRISTOPHER MORAN!
I’m a basketball skills development trainer working with athletes at every level, youth, middle school, high school, collegiate, and professional.
Based in the Lehigh Valley, I graduated from Delaware Valley University in 2016, where I was a member of the men’s basketball team. During my college career, I became a 1,000-point scorer, earned multiple team and individual awards, including two conference championships, Player of the Year honors, and All-American recognition. After graduation, I continued my playing career professionally in Mexico’s Libassur League with the Garrobos de Minatitlán.
From a young age, my parents instilled in me an “actions over words” mentality, a principle that fueled my journey through every level of basketball.
The game has always been more than just basketball for me. It’s where I learned discipline, resilience, and leadership, lessons I now aim to pass on to every athlete I train.
