Ted Sochaski - Director / Head Coach
Ted has been involved with the game of basketball for over 40 years, whether fulfilling his role as player, coach or referee.
Ted’s love of the game started in his hometown of Belleville, NJ where he remains the all-time leading scorer in Belleville High School Boys Basketball history. His passion for the game lead him back to Belleville High School where he was the Head Varsity Boys Basketball Coach from 2007 - 2012. The 2011-2012 season was one to remember... Belleville hosted its first North II Group 3 home playoff game in the program's history and finished the season tying the all-time win mark.
In 2012, after the birth of his daughter, Ted began his own AAU organization which allows him to continue to share his passion and tremendous knowledge of the game. He continues to train his past players who are now playing at a collegiate level.
