Belton Blaze Basketball
Board of Directors

After years of coaching throughout the Central Texas area, Coach Pat decided to start his own organization. His vision is for the organization to be known for 3 things: development, competition and family. Those core pillars of the organization are brought to the gym each and every day by Coach Pat.

Those pillars filter from the coaches, players, and
parents, so that anyone involved with Belton Blaze basketball understands that those three things will not be compromised.  The goal is that every coach, player and parent enjoys their time spent with Blaze
Basketball, and knows that once you are with Blaze Basketball, you are with family.
