About Me

name is Tony McAroy Jr., and I’m from Atmore, Alabama — where I graduated high school and first fell in love with the game. After high school, I went on to play college basketball at Miles College and Coastal Alabama, continuing to grow my skills and passion for the sport.

I later served as a Youth Athletic Counselor at Brant Lake Camp in New York, working hands-on with young athletes to help them build discipline, confidence, and a strong work ethic both on and off the court.

Currently, I’m an Assistant Coach at Bay Minette High School, and I also train 6th–12th grade basketball players in my free time — helping them improve their game while learning accountability and life skills along the way.

In addition to coaching, I’m certified in all Microsoft programs, with a current focus on Photoshop and digital design, using those skills to create professional sports graphics and branding for athletes and teams.

My mission is simple: build better players, and even better young men.
