COMPETE. CREATE. CONNECT.

ABOUT THE HEAD COACH

Coach Mongilia brings more than a decade of college basketball experience to the Bulldogs program. Before coming to Hopewell Valley, he spent 10 years with Princeton University Men’s Basketball. His coaching career has also included stops at Saint Peter’s University and Kean University, as well as several years coaching at the high school and youth levels. Throughout his career, Mongilia has worked with players at every stage of their development, from young players learning the fundamentals to Division I student-athletes competing at the highest level of college basketball. Those experiences have shaped his approach to teaching the game and his belief that strong fundamentals, competitive environments, and a genuine love for basketball are the foundation for long-term development. His goal is to develop a basketball program that reaches younger players throughout the community and gives them opportunities to learn, improve, compete, and build a connection to Hopewell Valley Basketball.
