I just want to say Tacoma Shine has really helped me with my little guys. I am a single parent with 2 boys and was struggling with their behavior. Tacoma Shine summer mentor camp helped changed that.. They went on field trips and had good experiences they couldn't wait to tell me about.. They said they will work hard this year to get better grades and No trouble.. Soo far so good.. I even received a goox message home from teachers.. Thanks Tacoma Shine mentor camp.. You will have them again next summer. Lol.

I took my daughter to Tacoma Shine Basketball with very little knowledge of basketball.. Coach Diago and his team of coaches changed that quickly.. They let me sit in practices and I not only watched my daughter turn into a great basketball player but gained alot of knowledge of the game.. Tacoma Shine is a great atmosphere to learn Basketball.. Thank you Coach Diago and Tacoma Shine.

I have 4 sons and they have played sports for Tacoma Shine.. They have all developed into great players training and playing with Tacoma Shine. I love their summer Mentor camp which has helped my son who had behavioral issues transform into a kid that has not been in trouble at school since he has been involved. His grade have gone up and he continues to speak of his goals.. I love Tacoma Shine Youth Athletics.. I wish I could do half of what they did for my family for them.. Blessed.

T.S.Y.A. has helped develop my daughter into a superstar guard. We brought her to T.S.Y.A. Coach/Trainer Diago Hunter and he transformed her into a Beast on and off the court. She avg. a 3.6 GPA and has recently took the ACT in Coach Diago's leg up program. I would recommend anyone who is serious about the game and wants their child to go to the next level contact Coach Diago Hunter and the T.S.Y.A. staff. They are undeniably the Best in town.

T.S.Y.A. has helped develop my child into a Superstar athlete. Shyanna never really played basketball and was not that good until she met Coach/trainer Diago D. Hunter and his staff. She started playing for Tacoma Shine when she was 6th grade. She started Varsity as a 9th grader and is a Jr. now avg. 18pts a game. She is also being looked at by 7 D-1 schools and 4 Pac-12 schools. I can't say enough about Tacoma Shine.. They have upgraded our family.. Thanks Coach!!!
