My name is Richard Jolliff and I have had the opportunity to meet a few of our current players 6-12 grade since being hired recently by the school to coach Varsity Girls Basketball. Over the past several years, I have been coaching 8th grade boys at Ithaca.
Prior to that I coached Varsity Boys and Girls at Breckenridge High School. My first season at Breckenridge, I coached a group of girls that had never won a game. They had 56 consecutive loses. We finished that year 11-10. I coached my daughter through high school, and she went on to play college basketball.
I have been pastoring for 44 years, and served several years on the mission fields. I have been to just about every continent. The past 34 years I have been Pastor at Amazing Grace Church.
My great passion in life is to be a lifetime learner, and help others develop their skills to the next level.
I have been married for 45 years to my wife Sharon. We have 2 daughters, and 1 son. And we have been blessed with 8 grandchildren.
We lived in Breckenridge for 24 years before buying a farm in Ithaca, Mighty Oaks Farm.
I attached a picture of our family gathering a few years back.
I look forward to working together with you and your family to develop your daughter's basketball and life skills.
Coach
