Your Instructor: Taya Tews

Hi Tews School of Basketball fam!

I would like to introduce myself, so you can know a little more about me.

I love basketball! I have been dribbling a basketball for as long as I can remember! I got involved playing AAU/club basketball when I was in second grade. I learned a lot playing for different coaches and clubs. I played for Tree of Hope (in Boise), Blitz (in Twin Falls coached by Daequon Montreal), and Next Level Basketball (in Smithfield, UT coached by Jalen and Jimmy Moore). I am a 2024 graduate from Skyline High School in Idaho Falls. I had the amazing experience of playing in Idaho’s High School basketball state tournament with my Skyline basketball team. We placed second in the 4A division. I have learned a lot from playing in these competitive leagues and in high pressure situations. I was always able to rely on my fundamentals and skills that I had developed from hours spent in the gym working on them.

I was able to achieve my dream of playing in a state championship and becoming the player I wanted to be. I have a strong desire to help kids achieve their dreams and gain confidence in their skills and in general. Basketball is about so much more than just knowing how to dribble a ball. It teaches hard work, confidence, determination, FUN, and so much more. I love working with kids and seeing their progress. That is why I love Tews School of Basketball.

I look forward to seeing you this summer!
