Rob V. says, "This past summer, my son had the privilege of being coached by Coach Mike and I couldn't be more impressed. Over the course of the summer, I saw incredible growth in his basketball skills, but more importantly, he developed a stronger sense of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Coach Mike created an environment that was both fun and challenging. He focused not only on individual skill development but also on fostering collaboration and communication on the court. The balance of technical drills, strategic gameplay, and life lessons Coach provided helped my son become a more well-rounded player. We are truly grateful for the positive experience this summer, and I look forward to having my son work with Coach Mike again in the future. Thank you for making this summer both enjoyable and transformative!" Read more

I started playing volleyball in elementary. I joined a club. I played basketball at my younger years a little before that on a team and for the YMCA. In my later years in high school I played one year of JV volleyball as a sophomore. This taught me vital skills. I carried on these skills until College where I started a volleyball club and was in the newspaper for LACC college (they did not have a sports team). There at LACC college I was very devoted to kinesiology and took swimming lessons. I learned the proper way to swim. In all areas I know how to do warm ups and drills and how to get your body moving. Basketball is a great exercise for

Your Basketball Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much does a personal basketball trainer cost?

The average cost of a personal basketball trainer ranges from $30 to $150 per hour for one-on-one sessions. The cost can be influenced by factors such as the player's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), the trainer's experience and expertise, and the location where the training takes place.

Additionally, small group sessions of 2 to 4 children can cost $30 to $50 per session on average, while large group training of 4+ kids can cost $20 to $40 per session on average

How do you train for basketball?

A well-rounded basketball training regimen should include skill-specific workouts, strength and conditioning exercises, and a structured training program. Skill development includes shooting workouts, ball handling drills, and training tailored to your position, whether you’re a guard or post player.

Strength and conditioning exercises such as aerobic training and strength training for primary muscle groups like hips, quads, and glutes are critical. A structured 6-week training program that emphasizes form, technique, and skill progression should improve your game.

How many hours do basketball players train a week?

Basketball players, especially those aiming to improve their skills, may train for around 10 to 15 hours per week, depending on the level of their game. The specific distribution of training hours across skill development, strength training, and other aspects can vary based on individual needs and goals.

However, much of that training time does not require an instructor. Shooting hoops, working out at the gym, and playing pick-up games all count toward the total training time.

Is strength training important for basketball?

Yes, strengthtraining is essential for basketball players as it aids in the development of speed strength, absolute strength, and core strength. It boosts blast impulse, the ability to generate force rapidly, crucial for activities like jumping for rebounds and swift changes in direction.

Additionally, strength training enhances power output and agility, allowing players to respond quickly to on-court situations and maintain an edge over their opponents.

What questions should I ask a basketball trainer?

Ask these questions when picking a basketball trainer to help you meet your goals:

  • What is your background and experience in basketball training?
  • Have you worked with players at my skill level or position before?
  • What is your coaching philosophy and training style?
  • How do you tailor your training programs to individual needs?
  • What specific skills and aspects of the game do you emphasize in your training sessions?
  • How do you address both physical and mental aspects of player development?
  • Do you conduct initial assessments to identify strengths and areas for improvement?
  • How do you track and measure a player's progress over time?
  • How do you incorporate injury prevention strategies into your training programs?
  • What steps do you take to ensure the well-being of your athletes?
  • What is your availability for training sessions?
  • How do you handle scheduling and potential conflicts?
  • How do you communicate with players and provide feedback?
  • What role do players and parents/guardians play in the feedback process?
  • What are your fees and payment structure?
  • Are there any long-term commitments or package deals available?
  • Can you provide references from previous clients or players you have trained?
  • How do you work with players to set and achieve realistic goals?
  • What expectations do you have for players in terms of commitment and effort?

My 9 year old has been working with Coach Sam for over 6 months and it’s been so fun watching him improve and gain confidence! Sam always shows up prepared really spends time working on necessary skills and is always asking for updates on his games and any adjustments they should make to training. He’s genuinely invested in my son and wants him to grow and love the sport of basketball. My son loves working out with Sam and gets so excited to see him. I can’t recommend him enough!
