Abstract Background

The Manzer Way of Training

We are a company that is built on Faith, Responsibility, Teamwork and an insatiable desire to get better. We require that all of our Trainers and employees model the qualities that we want to see demonstrated in our players. We have to be confident, humble, fit, skilled, tough, and unselfish; ready to adjust to whatever challenges may be thrown at us on the court or in life. We’ve got to lead the way with our words and by our actions.
