Ravi Moole

Hailing from Oak Hill, Virginia, Coach Moole brings a wealth of developmental and strategic expertise to the staff in his first season with the team. 

After the ball stopped bouncing for him relatively early, Coach Moole began his coaching career at age 13. He has been coaching basketball for 12 years. Moole has coached at the Varsity, College, AAU, and Recreational levels. Coach Moole was the youngest officially-listed VA 6A Varsity Coach during the Winter ‘21 season.  He was also the youngest HVIAC women’s basketball coach during Winter ‘22. Moole has 3 SYA championships to his name, 2 of which came as a head coach. He has held the responsibility of acting as a Performance Director for True AP (having been promoted 3 times in 15 months) and a Site Director for True Youth Sports. During his stints at these roles, he has led coaches’ clinics for recreational coaches, skills clinics for youth players, and sports performance training sessions for teams and individuals. Coach Moole is Impact Basketball Total Player Development Certified, Pack Line Defense Certified, and ISSA CPT Certified. He also has experience as a Skills Apprentice for 24/7 Basketball.

As a player, he has been a 3x CYA Champion, SYA Winter 2014 All-Star, Ultimate Hoops Summer 2022 All-Star/Player of Week 5, and Westfield High School 2015 3 on 3 Tournament Champion. He was also a 2013 Virginia Northern Region Scholar Athlete and 2014 Concorde District Champion in Football.

Outside of basketball, Coach Moole is a Financial Services professional. He was named the #2 Analyst in Barclays’ Global TTRO department in 2022 after only 8 months on the job. He was CDW’s Coworker of the Month in November 2020. He is a 2019 graduate of Indiana’s Kelley School of Business with a major in Finance and holds a Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics from George Mason’s Raymond School of Business. Moole also holds a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. He is a CFA Level II candidate who plans on attaining an MBA in the future. Moole also coaches Football. He’s coached all three levels of high school football and has been on staff as an Analyst at the Division I level. 

Coach Moole’s favorite coaching memory is his first championship as a head coach in the SYA’s 7th Grade Winter League. In preparation for a championship game against a team that had beaten his team in the regular season, Coach Moole installed a 2-2-1 press the day before the big game. This press contributed to a 26-1 lead at the end of the first quarter and a runaway championship victory.
