I liked the dribbling drills which helped improve my skills on my left hand. The drills also provided a positive influence on the the way I think of basketball in more serious terms.

First of all, Coach Jon is a person of good character. Approachable, professional, patient, caring. Secondly, he’s a solid coach. After a few lessons, my daughter’s skill sets have improved. This is directly attributed to Coach Jon’s focused attention to details relative to body mechanics, form and function. I’m very confident Coach Jon will have my daughter performing at the next level.
