BASKETBALL

Coach Jared Jones brings great experience, clear leadership, and a steady coaching presence to Berkshire United Sports Camp. He began his career at Charleston Southern as an Analytical Intern for the Men’s Basketball program, where he built the foundation of his basketball knowledge. From there, he joined Hofstra University as a Graduate Assistant and contributed to the team’s success during their 2020 CAA Championship season.

Jared went on to lead the Varsity Boys team at Promise Academy 2, focusing on developing skilled athletes who also understood teamwork, discipline, and responsibility. He continued working with young athletes as the Head AAU Coach with Chris Ward Basketball, preparing players for competitive environments and helping them grow both on and off the court.

He now serves as the Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach at Rye Country Day. His coaching style is balanced, clear, and player-centered, and he is known for building strong relationships and helping athletes reach new levels in their game.

Jared believes deeply in the role sports can play in a young person’s life. His work reflects that belief and shows his commitment to helping the next generation become confident, capable, and well-rounded athletes.
