Nicolas Sun

Nicholas began playing basketball at the age of eight while living in China. He played on various teams and was elected Captain of his Junior High School Team.

After moving to Ireland, Nicolas hoped he would pass his love for basketball onto his son, coaching him in Eanna basketball Club. However, one year later after lockdown and little opportunities to play, Nicolas moved his son to Dublin Raiders Academy, sparking a new idea to reignite his passion for basketball. Nicolas begin coaching basketball to his friends children, which was a big success with more kids joining to learn. Nicolas has now joined the Raiders Coaching Team and is coach to our U11 boys team.

His aim and hope is to encourage more children to start playing basketball and remind them to never give up and that practice makes perfect.
