DELAWARE BOYS AAU BASKETBALL

Coach Curtis Williams joins our DCH program this year after spending years coaching youth basketball in the Dover area. Curtis prides himself on the betterment of young athletes both on and off the court.  A strong emphasis on fundamentals is the core of his approach to developing young players.  His teams focus has a primary emphasis on defense with an offense that is based on spacing, ball and player movement.  Curtis was a high school basketball standout in South Carolina and earned a scholarship to play at Norfolk State University.  He finished his playing career at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and currently works at the #1 HBCU in the land, Delaware State University as the Housing Assignments Coordinator.  Curtis lives with his wife Jordin and three sons, Tarrance, Braylon and Prestin in Dover, DE. 

Coach Smith is a coach who is there for his players and does whatever is necessary to try and help them succeed. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but what you learn from those situations is what makes a difference. From a standout playing career in High School, College and Pro he uses his experiences to help his players succeed on and off the court and hopefully have a chance to play at the next level. With a focus on defense, his style of play is an uptempo game with an emphasis on creating turnovers for easy baskets on the other end. His motto is “you get from the game what you put into it”. “What are you doing different to separate yourself from the rest?”

Jordin has dedicated her life to the field of sport.  A standout scholar-athlete in Pennsylvania high school sports, Jordin scored over 2,600 points ranking her top 25 all time in PA scoring history. She then took her talents to St. Francis University of PA where she was a freshman starter on the 1999-2000 NEC Championship team, earning her all NEC All-Rookie Team honors and a 14th seed in the 2000 NCAA Tournament.  After two years at St. Francis, Jordin finished her basketball and academic career at Indiana University of PA where she earned a BA in Business Management and an MS in Sport Administration.  Her professional career in collegiate recreation began in 2005 when she spent 4 years at Temple University learning the ropes and then came to Delaware State University in 2009 where she has been able to build a leading HBCU campus rec program that prepares and consistently places students in career positions across the country within sport. She views her current position as Executive Director of Wellness & Recreation as a true blessing and privilege that provides her the opportunity to use sport as a way to prepare students for success in life.   The opportunity to coach with the DCH program goes right in line with this philosophy of impacting youth through sport - Jordin is thrilled to be able to teach the game of basketball and build a strong foundation that will set our athletes up for success on and off the court.  Jordin lives with her husband Curtis and three sons, Tarrance, Braylon and Prestin in Dover, Delaware.
