“What Avi has done in his brief time here has been incredible,” notes Chief Athletic Officer Jez McIntosh. “Not only has he been able to attract top student athletes to come to Porter’s, he has also gotten the most out of the pool of athletes already at Porter’s. Avi has tremendous knowledge of the game and knows how to convey that knowledge to his team in a way that is inspiring, motivating, and fun. I look forward to watching his team continue to progress in all facets of the game under his leadership.”
