COACHES — Three Peaks Performance

COACHING STAFF

Three Peaks was founded by former collegiate athletes Alyssa (Martin) Loveday and Jacki Gulczynski. Alyssa and Jacki shared a vision for a program that built youth basketball in central Oregon on the values of community, development and passion.

Community: building strong characters and leaders through young people in central Oregon.

Development: improving the skills of our players through the foundation of fundamentals.

Passion: approaching every workout with focus and effort for the love of the game.

Beginning in 2017 Jacki and Alyssa began Three Peaks with these values in mind. The program began with small clinics and camps and one travel team. Since then Three Peaks has grown to 17 Spring/Summer travel teams, 20+ coaches and over 200 yearly participants.
