Preparing players for the next level

who we are

Bigger than basketball

All World is based in North Orange County and is led by Nick Christofono (Head Coach) & Gilbert Dickason (Program Director).

With over 30 years of basketball experience both playing & coaching at high levels, Nick & Gilbert started their journey in the world of hoops on the playgrounds and local gyms of Whittier, California.

All World specializes in bringing the old school basketball mentality with the new wave of training and play. Every athlete has their own strengths and weaknesses, we utilize each player’s talent to assemble the best teams possible, while always working with them individually to grow as well.

Our focus is to prepare our players for the next level and base our system around high school concepts. As your child goes from one age group to the next, they are given more pieces of the puzzle to help them become a complete athlete by the time high school comes around.

That being said, some players develop faster than others, so we find it extremely important to push them and make sure they encourage and push each other. Each player is taught to hold themselves and their teammates accountable in a positive and constructive way.

Nick & Gilbert find it extremely important to help their athletes be the best version of themselves, on and off the court.

What we are doing here at All World is bigger than basketball, it’s preparing them for life.

Whether a victory, setback, success or failure, it’s important that each player learns how to handle the situation, persevere, learn and move on. We call this the “Next Possession” mentality.

"Every win is a confirmation that you are on the right track and each loss is a lesson in disguise"

what people are saying about all world

"My son has always loved basketball and has played for 6 years straight with different teams and leagues. After joining the All World club his love for the sport has never been higher. The dedication of the All World club coaches and parents is unmatched, period! The coaches truly care about the kids growing on and off the court. The boys are not treated simply as players but as family, held accountable, deeply cared for and push them to improve. Whether its skills training, strength and conditioning, learning new plays, or group outings; being apart of this club has been amazing. We continue to see tangible results of my sons improvement on the court and growth as an individual. Our family is forever grateful for the amazing experience the All World Family has given our son."

-All World dad

"Since joining the All World team, my son has developed and improved as an athlete on the court and is learning to become a great team player off court. I trust in the spectacular coaching, consistent practices, and training he receives that the players are met with a perfect balance of encouragement and preparation, while being challenged for all levels of competition and obstacles that await them. Throughout the week and weekend matches, our team gains experience and become equipped to improve technically and mentally, and become stronger as they build endurance. it has been extraordinary to watch my son and team develop. Thank you, All World family!"

"Thanks to Coach Nick and Coach Gibb of All World Hoops for making the boys realize their potential and helping them work harder to develop themselves as players and young men."

-#23 Mom

"As a parent of a young son (9) and daughter (13), it was important for me to find a basketball program that would foster growth, skill development & mental toughness. Prior to joining All World, my kids were feeling uncertain about their basketball abilities and it was hard to find a coach/program that didn't focus so much on winning with just a few "favorite" players. With All World, Coach Nick and Coach Gilbert truly care about their young athletes and their experience with the program. They provide such a fun & positive environment that my kids actually look forward to practicing and getting better! In the short time that we have been affiliated, I have seen such a huge shift in how my kids now carry themselves in their self-confidence, skills and winning/losing respectfully. We are so grateful to be a part of the All World family!"
