Coach Noodle started his career at Lake Howell High School playing along side some of the best players to come out of the state of FL - Chandler Parsons (Houston Rockets) & Nick Calathes (Memphis Grizzles). He was moved up to varsity as a Sophomore and won a state championship in 2006 and 2007. He was one of Lake Howell's top players his senior year and was offered a scholarship to play ball at the Tennessee Temple University in Nashville, TN. Coach Noodle played for 1 season at TTU, then decided to come back to Orlando to pursue a music career.

Alfredo's first passion is basketball, but a close second is his love for music. Once back in Orlando, Noodle got with some of his close friends and formed a group called Team Takeoff. Since then Team Takeoff has been successful in the Orlando area and their music has been played all over Florida. Orlando Hoops decided to bring Coach Noodle on as a trainer in the Summer of 2012 after watching him play in an Adult Summer League game. OHoops realized he was too good of a player not to be either playing basketball professionally or teaching younger kids the game. Once on the staff, he became a quick favorite of a lot of the young OHoopers due to his natural ability to make kids laugh and feel comfortable in the Lab.Noodle is a great athlete with unbelievable hands and an amazing ability to finish anything around the basket! Although, if you ask anyone, they will tell you his best attributes to the game are his defensive skills.

Off the court, Alfredo of course loves his music and spends a lot of time in the studio. Other than that, he makes it a point to teach his younger brother and perfecting his game, while also being there for his fiance who is pregnant with their first daughter - Ashmarie.
