Featuring CORE’s Founder & Head Coach

Jon Bohrer, Head CORE Coach

Coach Jon brings over 25 years of experience working with children and specializing in introducing new sports, such as basketball, to young players. Before founding CORE 11-years ago, Coach Jon served as the Director of Basketball for PK-5th grades at the Merage Jewish Community Center. Under his leadership, CORE Basketball has served nearly 5,000 students from 30+ schools around the Newport Beach area.

Jon is passionate about the sport, having played varsity basketball in high school and intramural basketball in college. Basketball is his favorite sport to both watch and play!

Jon finds great fulfillment in being the first to introduce basketball to preschoolers, “There’s nothing like the joy you see on the face of a kiddo when their first shot goes through the hoop.”

Thank you for everything you’ve done for our family. Our son has just loved your basketball program, camps, classes, etc. He’s developed both physically and mentally — we’ve seen it! You’ve been a tremendous influence on him and we’ve recommended your program to many friends.
— Debbie S. (Parent)
