Making better players, students, people, and
citizens through the game of basketball

“If you are looking for a basketball school that encompasses sportsmanship, team work, skills, and ability; then you have found the right place!  Coach Jackson is one of the best instructors in team sports!  We have witnessed the FireHeart Basketball coaching staff guide young people through the bumps in life, using lessons that can only be learned on the basketball court. They work WITH the kids and are always prepared, positive, and ready to help their players achieve success both on AND off the court. Both of our sons train at FireHeart basketball and they are developing not only as highly trained competitive basketball players, but exceptional young men!  You couldn’t ask for a better mentor than Coach Jackson!”

“Playing for coach Jackson and being a part of FireHeart was a great learning experience. Coach Jackson works hard to help all of his players become better athletes on and off the court. He takes a true interest in all of his players. FireHeart basketball is something I would suggest every student athlete to be a part of.”

“This year, our son will begin his fourth year with FireHeart Basketball. As parents, we cannot say enough good things about it. Over the years, our children have been a part of various programs and there is just no comparison as far as quality goes. It has been apparent since day one that basketball is Chris Jackson’s passion and he is genuine in his efforts to share this knowledge with the kids he is training. It has been fun to watch our son over the years as his skills have improved, along with his self-confidence. We are so thankful that our son has the opportunity to be a part of FireHeart and highly recommend it to other parents.”

“Coach Jackson coached my son, Brandon Burnett, in middle school. During that time their team won the league championship. Myself and my husband really appreciated Coach Jackson because what we saw was a coach that really was vested in the boys. Not only was he vested in the boys, Coach Jackson taught them how to work hard  and provided them with life skills that Brandon could learn from and continue to use as he continued to grow into a young man. It was more than just basketball to Coach Jackson. Brandon went on to play high school basketball also Division-1 college basketball at Indiana State. Brandon has had many coaches throughout his career of basketball and the one coach that he still speaks of and has much respect for is Coach Jackson.

We as Brandon’s parents often say that it would have been nice to have a coach of Coach Jackson’s magnitude throughout his career. Coach Jackson was not just a great coach he also showed the boys values, lessons, teamwork, and taught them that hard work pays off.” 

“This basketball program is top notch! Not only are they (the coaches) teaching the basic fundamentals of the sport, but also teaching my children to be respectful, responsible, and team-oriented. Coach Jackson puts his heart and passion into making sure all the kids work hard, challenge themselves, learn from the coaches/players, and have fun. My son and daughter have both been a part of this great organization since it first started, and I think it’s been a great experience for our entire family. Go FireHeart!”

“As a parent, thank you so much for offering such a wonderful service to working mothers. You’re a great coach and I deeply value the time we’ve spent together and the progress you’ve helped me make in my life (as a parent). I wouldn’t be this far along in my goals or have this much courage to push forward without your support.”
