The Team
Experienced, certified coaches who are mentors first — teaching the game, and the life skills that outlast it.
Founder & Coach
Omer Ginzburski is the founder and a coach at Zion Sports Academy. He coached at every level of the game overseas before bringing that experience to the United States, where he coached at several New Jersey high schools — and in 2019, founded Zion Sports Academy.
Today the academy trains athletes from elementary school through high school in Teaneck, New Jersey, guided by three principles: integrity, discipline and teamwork — and by one goal: to educate and empower young people with confidence, commitment and integrity.
