Jim Psaras is the director of Psaras Skills Academy and the former coach at Rogers High School in Newport, Rhode Island. Psaras coached basketball for 29 seasons in Newport, his first season at Thompson Middle School, his second with the Rogers freshmen, his third with the Rogers junior varsity and the last 26 seasons as the head boys’ varsity coach at Rogers. Jim retired from coaching in March of 2014.

Jim’s coaching career was greatly impacted by the opportunity to work and learn at the famed Five Star Basketball Camp. Although he is retired from high school coaching, through his Psaras Skills Academy and Viking Basketball Camp he continues to give back to the game.

The foundation of the Psaras Skills Academy philosophy is to show players how to work hard, teach players how to work and play smart, and inspire players to work consistently once training is over. Players will learn the level of effort required to play successful basketball, as well as how to train with purpose to get there.
