Coach Declan O’Connell

Coach Declan O’Connell has been immersed in the game of basketball for as long as he can remember. He played at Juniperro Serra High School and spent two years as a key player for NorCal Rush, competing at a high level under coaches Zac Levine & Jason Chiu. After his playing career, he began coaching at St. Matthew’s Catholic School in San Mateo. Now, he hopes to bring his experience and love for the game back to NorCal Rush as he becomes the latest player to transition from athlete to coach. Coach O’Connell brings his experience, leadership, and deep understanding of the game to his team. He fosters a competitive and motivated environment, guiding his players to success on and off the court. His passion for the sport and natural leadership make him a promising young coach with a bright future. We are incredibly excited to have Coach Declan O’Connell on our team.
