College Placement Service

College Placement Service

Coach Ward, following specific and individual player evaluations, has proven to transform a basic player into a legitimate collegiate level basketball player.  Through a combination of Desire, Hard work and Discipline, players have been guided in becoming the very best athletes they can be both on and off the court.  Coach Ward, through his vast array of collegiate level contacts, can organize placement that fits both academically and athletically.

Coach Ward is simply the best coach I've ever had...From the first time I trained with him five years ago, he's instilled a standard of play that I carry with me today at the college level...He consistently demands the effort, passion and accountability to become a complete player and teammate...Coach Ward represents more than a coach to me - He is a mentor, a program, an advocate and a successful way to play the game...

Coach Ward has been a part of our lives for several years. He is knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate about the game of basketball. Coach Ward has made my son a better player, athlete and young man. He instilled in him the knowledge, tools and work ethic necessary to achieve his dream of playing college basketball. Coach Ward motivates his athletes both on and off the court. It is because of his player development, guidance and support my son will be playing basketball at Drew University next year!

“I began working with Coach Ward in seventh grade, and the experience has made a huge impact on my game and in my life.  The recognition I received for my play in high school and the opportunity to continue in college with the game I love is due to the dedication and passion Coach Ward has for seeing his students succeed.”

Andrew and Alex Laub ~ Kenyon College

Chris Ward coached both of our boys to a whole new level in their high school basketball career. His instruction, direction, and encouragement has brought out the best in them, both on an off the court. He was instrumental in helping to guide us through the college recruiting process. Importantly, once our oldest son earned a spot on a competitive college team, he was very well prepared for the rigor of the game at that level due to Coach Ward's disciplined and highly effective approach.

Coach Ward is the most passionate and knowledgeable coach i’ve ever played for.  However, what sets Coach Ward apart from many others is the love and care he has for his players. The CWB program is truly a family and Coach Ward loves us all like he loves his son and daughter. Coach Ward’s passion for the game and for his players inspires us to work harder not only on the court but in every aspect of ours lives.

My name is Ryan Riefenhauser. I am a senior at Dobbs Ferry High School and have played varsity basketball for three years. My success at the varsity level is due to the player development program  designed by Coach Chris Ward. Coach Ward created a solid basketball foundation, improved weaknesses in my game, taught me how to utilize my strengths to benefit my team on the court and most important gave me the support and confidence that has benefitted me both on and off the court. Coach Ward is not just a talented coach,he is an outstanding teacher and person. . His unique coaching style will benefit any player at any level. Thanks to Coach Ward I now have the rare opportunity  to play at the college level.
