Meet Coach Larry!!!

Larry Green (aka “LG”) is originally from Charlottesville, Virginia. While growing up in a college town atmosphere, Larry was exposed to the exciting basketball action of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Basketball seemed to be a very good sports choice as he was 6’5” and able to dunk at age 12.

 

Sports would not be the only defining aspect of Larry’s high school days. In high school, he was a member of the National Honor Society, Boy’s State of Virginia participant and elected Vice President of his senior class. Larry graduated from Charlottesville High School in 1991 with a 3.85 GPA.

 

Larry played college basketball at the United States Naval Academy. This proved to be a tremendous experience as he helped to rebuild their program culminating in a NCAA tournament bid in 1994. Larry graduated from the Naval Academy in 1995 with a degree in Economics.

 

While serving in the military as a Supply Officer, Larry held a variety of leadership positions supporting the business needs of his command post. Larry earned his MBA while on active duty.

 

Upon leaving the Navy in 2000, Larry embarked upon an exciting career in Silicon Valley working for IBM, Apple, eBay, PayPal and VeriSign.  He's also spent time in the fitness industry, working as a corporate strategist for 24 Hour Fitness.  Larry currently works as a Global Program Manager at Google.

 

Larry has stayed close to the game since his college days. He’s played overseas (Spain & Philippines) and many Pro-Am leagues. He’s actively trained youth, high school, college and professional athletes.
