After more than three decades at Valley Christian, Coach Greg Haagsma is retiring from coaching. Coach Haagsma joined Valley Christian in 1991 and became head coach of boys basketball in 1997. Over the years, he built one of Arizona’s premier programs, leading the Trojans to 750+ wins and multiple state championships, while mentoring countless student-athletes. But those who know Coach Haagsma know that his legacy goes far beyond the scoreboard. For decades, he has poured into the lives of young men, teaching them not only how to compete but how to lead, serve, and live out their faith. His impact will continue to be felt in the lives of the players, coaches, and families who were shaped by his leadership. Coach, thank you for your unwavering commitment to Trojan athletics and to the mission of Valley Christian. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to VCS, as you continue to serve as our Athletic Director. Your legacy will always be part of Trojan basketball.
