Empowering Youth, Elevating Community.

Las Vegas Athletics of Basketball is a local nonprofit organization committed to creating equitable access to elite basketball training for under-resourced youth in our community. We believe every student—regardless of race, background, religion, or socioeconomic status—deserves the opportunity to grow through the game. From beginners to aspiring professionals, we welcome all skill levels into our inclusive, high-performance programs.  At The LAB, we believe greatness starts with a solid foundation—and we are dedicated to laying each brick with purpose.

Through a holistic approach that combines elite skill development, mentorship, and academic support, we empower youth to reach their full potential. Our programs are grounded in the Positive Youth Development (PYD) model, which emphasizes confidence, courage, and competency in every learner.

Basketball is more than a sport—it’s a vehicle for transformation. At The LAB, athletes build lifelong habits of discipline, resilience, and belief in themselves. With strong mentorship and structured training, our players are equipped to achieve their personal and athletic goals—and succeed far beyond the court.

Zach Cohen is an experienced educator, coach, and performance trainer with over 20 years of dedicated work in youth development and athletic training. As a licensed K–12 Physical Education teacher in the Clark County School District (CCSD), Zach brings a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by students in under-resourced communities—particularly those attending Title I schools.   

Motivated by a deep passion for equity and empowerment, Zach founded The L.A.B. to create accessible, high-impact basketball training programs for student-athletes of all backgrounds. His goal is to use basketball as a transformative tool—not only to develop game performance, but to teach essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, responsibility, and character.

Zach’s educational expertise allows him to recognize and adapt to diverse learning styles, which he integrates into every facet of The L.A.B.’s programming. His unique training approach focuses on developing the whole athlete—physically, mentally, emotionally, and academically—so they can reach their full potential on and off the court.

At The L.A.B., Zach’s vision is clear: to help young athletes build confidence, achieve their personal goals, and establish habits for long-term success. He believes in every player's ability to grow, and he is committed to guiding them through a journey that goes far beyond the game.
