Coach John K. brings professional international experience to the PAC sideline. A former Tanzanian national team player who competed in tournaments from a young age, John has translated that elite playing career into a coaching style defined by connection — he meets young players where they are, teaches with energy, and never stops smiling. In just two seasons with PAC, his teams have already captured multiple championships and league titles. The results speak, but it’s the relationships he builds that set him apart.
