Ken Ferrare founded Drills, Skills & Thrills (DST) Basketball LLC in 2003. He coached High School Basketball for 24 years, 18 as Head Boys Varsity Coach. After 10 successful years at Morris Knolls HS as Head Boys Basketball Coach, Ken decided to step down in order to focus more of his time developing his business, DST Basketball, and coaching his three sons, Anthony, Patrick and Christopher.

Ken’s business has focused on Camps & Clinics, but is now expanding to offer grade 3-8 boys AAU Teams. Ken will be a supervising coach for each AAU team and will attend most practices and games to make sure your kids are being coached at the highest level and the best possible experience. DST will offer two practices a week with exceptional coaching and planning – no wasted time – we offer fun, and well planned, productive practices along with Tournament competition on the weekends.
