Niko Daskas

Coach Niko Daska brings a strong background in both playing and coaching to ALL IN Athletics. With several years of coaching experience working with athletes ages 5-15 and additional experience as a referee, Niko has a well-rounded perspective on the game. A former starter at River Trails Middle School, he helped lead the team to its first-ever tournament championship at the Joey Sykes Tournament before continuing to play AAU and feeder basketball for Hersey High School. Currently finishing his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science at Loyola University Chicago and pursuing a Master’s in Education, Niko is passionate about teaching and mentoring young athletes. Coming from a basketball family—including relatives who have played professionally, coached at the high school level, and worked in the WNBA—Niko has always had the game in his blood and is excited to share that love of basketball with the ALL IN community.
