Founder

Coach Pernell Hosier has been coaching and managing basketball programs for over 20 years. His success has resulted in 35 players earning full 4-year athletic scholarships and over 60 players earning academic degrees. Higher learning institutions such as Seton Hall, Maryland Eastern Shore, Delaware State, Cleveland State, North Carolina Central, Kentucky State, Molloy College, Moorhead State, Clark Atlanta, Columbia, Slippery Rock, St. Augustine, Saint Paul's, Shaw, Livingstone College, Elizabeth City and University of Albany, have all had players that were embraced by Coach Pernell Hosier’s tutelage and philosophy of basketball. 

Coach Hosier’s leadership and positive attitude is reflected by his 12-year tenure as the Athletic Director and Head Men’s Basketball Coach for TCI College of Technology; he garnered winning seasons in each of the 12 years at the helm. He established this winning tradition without having a home court or stable practice facility. Coach Hosier states “Even though there were challenges when having to practice at many different facilities around the city, our ability to recruit Class A players/students was never hindered.” 

Now entering his 16th year as the Founder and Head Basketball Coach for the PV Ballerz, Coach Hosier is poised to bring his winning ways, experience and the knowledge necessary to develop his players into exceptional students and reputable athletes. Hence preparing them for the next level in basketball, life and academics.
