When people in Central Florida talk about basketball training, one name keeps coming up: Ramesses Khalfani. With Pinnacle Sports Academy, Khalfani has quickly carved out a reputation for building athletes the right way—and the reviews back it up. Across platforms like Google and Yelp, Pinnacle holds a spotless track record of five-star reviews, with parents and players alike praising the results, the attention to detail, and the professional experience Khalfani brings to every session.
From High School Legend to Global Pro
Before he became one of the most sought-after trainers in Florida, Khalfani first made his mark at Thomasville High School. A four-year starter, he led his team to three region championships, the school’s first undefeated regular season, and its first-ever state championship appearance. He went on to earn two All-State honors, becoming Thomasville’s first Division I recruit and, ultimately, the first professional player to come out of the school.
From National Standout to Division I Courts to Global Professional Play
Khalfani carried his success to the collegiate level, competing as a standout at Florida A&M University, where he established himself as a Division I player with a high basketball IQ and relentless drive. His career then took him overseas and into elite arenas: China, Israel, the NBA G League, and even the NBA. That journey shaped not only his skillset but also the perspective he brings to developing the next generation of players.
Pinnacle Sports Academy: Built on Basketball Development
Today, Khalfani has shifted his focus from playing to training, building Pinnacle Sports Academy into one of Central Florida’s fastest-growing athlete development companies. While Pinnacle serves clients across all sports through performance training, roughly 75% of its work centers on basketball development—where Khalfani’s experience and teaching style shine brightest.
Parents and players point to his ability to break down details others overlook, teaching footwork, spacing, pace, and basketball IQ alongside elite skill work. Sessions are known for being demanding, purposeful, and tailored to the individual athlete. That focus has made Pinnacle a trusted name not just for middle and high school athletes but also for college players and professionals in the offseason.
More Than Just Training
Khalfani has also expanded his reach through Push The Game Forward, a camp and seminar platform designed to grow the game, and Hoop Insider, a scouting outlet providing coverage of Central Florida’s rising talent. With his deep network of college coaches and eye for spotting under-the-radar players, he has become a vital link between ambitious athletes and the opportunities they dream of.
