ABOUT CHRIS VERSTRATE BASKETBALL

MEET THE FOUNDER
CHRIS VERSTRATE
I'm Chris VerStrate, founder of VerStrate Training and a varsity assistant coach in Spokane. I've spent more than 15 years coaching boys and girls basketball at multiple levels, including high school, AAU, and recreation. I built this program to give athletes a place to work hard, compete, and grow through grit and accountability. My coaching style is structured, intense, and focused on real skill development that translates both to the court and to life.


TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
CONSISTENT WORK. HONEST COACHING. DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.
My philosophy is simple: athletes get better through consistent work, honest coaching, and a commitment to doing things the right way. I believe in building players who are skilled, confident, and mentally tough-athletes who can handle pressure, compete with purpose, and carry those habits into life outside the gym. I teach the game through structure, intensity, and repetition. Every drill has a purpose, every rep is coached, and every session demands focus. I push athletes to compete, to embrace discomfort, and to take ownership of their development. Grit isn't just a word in my program, it's something we build every day.
