U9D (årg. 2018 og 2019)

Peter Slusarski is a native New Yorker raised with a love for sport. Peter has played organized basketball from a instructional league through competitive Catholic School leagues & tournaments until his teenage years. In my mid-teens, I quit playing organized basketball but continued to play recreationally for the last 20 years. My studies led me to do freelancing within the arts & playing music professionally and in the last 5+ years teaching basketball and drumming. For me, basketball has always been a constant in my life, I’ve always organized within a basketball community and continue to make friendships through the game coaching at Stevnsgade Basketball Klub and out on the streets playing pick-up ball.

I have 5+ experience coaching U13-U15 boys and girls. My greatest success is seeing the kids grow into great people. I’ve had to pleasure to coach a complete beginner U13 to make the national team and also had the pleasure to meet a former player scanning my produce working the cashier at the grocery store. Everybody’s journey is different but always met with a smile.

My training structure is having a general plan with room to improvise. I believe in creating an environment where players are allowed to fail. #1 for me is team-building exercises and developing a chemistry with your teammates, #2 is having the mentality to become a “chess” basketball player thinking 2-3 moves ahead and not a “checkers” type of player & #3 having vision to be creative and able to find solutions. At every training, we will define what skills we are learning and it is up to the player to further develop them.

Last year (2025/2026) through outreach & after school programs, I’ve started working together with younger kids ranging from U7-U11 and hope to be someone who leaves a positive imprint on their basketball journey. This year 2026/2027, I look forward to work together with U11 mix team and U13 boys team.
