Bhavana M. says, "I've been training with Coach Ken, for a while now, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions I've made for my basketball journey. He’s not just incredibly knowledgeable about the game—his drills, technique work, and game IQ are top-notch—but he also truly cares about helping his players grow, both on and off the court. He's patient, motivating, and always pushes me to reach my full potential. Whether we’re working on shooting, footwork, or conditioning, he brings energy and focus every time. What really sets him apart, though, is his character—he’s genuinely a great guy who wants to see you succeed. I’m super grateful to train with someone who believes in me and takes the time to help me get better every day." Read more

Two of the major sports, (basketball and football) have always been my passion since childhood. I study and love these sports and instill confidence in those I coach. I am the funny relatable coach that is able to connect with the children and get through to them on their level. I teach my players the things that they will need on the next level all the way to college. I’ve been coaching for about 4 years now starting with football at the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. My players walk away from my coaching with confidence in life as well as the sport they’re playing. I believe that it takes more than just parents to shape a young man or w

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?

  • 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?

Reviews for Pittsburg basketball trainers

Recent success stories from people in the Pittsburg area.
Eriberto P.
As the parent, I loved working with Elevate because it taught them fundamentals for every sports not just basketball. They learned how to communicate with teammates, they learned discipline, and lastly they learned how to strive to grow their skills and improve to become the best they can be. My younger son Santiago says that he loves working with Elevate because it helped him “push to do his best” and because they knew how to mix drills by making them challenging but fun at the same time. My eldest son Gael states that, “Kendall and Jim were the best coaches ever” because not only did they teach basketball skills, they taught skills that impacted the person he is now. And lastly my daughter Fernanda says that, “coaches at Elevate aren’t any regular coaches, they strive to make their students better and truly show their effort and enthusiasm towards helping their students improve.” That is why we love working with Elevate.
