Both of my daughters (ages 9and 11) play basketball and we wanted to add some private coaching to work on skills and fundamentals. We found Coach Joe and he is fantastic. After a few sessions with Coach Joe, we saw great improvements with both of our daughters shooting, ball handling and confidence. Coach Joe identified each strengths and areas to grow and organized training sessions where they could work on these skills. He is organized and he communicates corrections always in a positive and encouraging nature. He knows how to motivate each type of player and is fun to work with. We feel very lucky to have found him and would highly recommend.

Coach Perry has been great for my son. He takes the time to demonstrate and effectively communicate skills and situations that has allowed my son to apply what he’s learned in game time situations. By believing and knowing when to apply skills he’s gained through training, Coach Perry has enhanced my sons’s skill set on the basketball court.

Joe’s experience, knowledge, and training style are 2nd to none. He prepared my son to be successful in high school basketball. He is a great role model and excellent coach. If you are looking for a trainer to help your son or daughter to get to the next level AND be a positive influence in their lives Joe is the right choice. I highly recommend him

Coach Joe is the real deal! We have gone through many trainers and coaches before discovering the talented and personable coach/trainer we found in Joe! In just a short time, we have seen our daughter grasp a whole new level of understanding and playing the game. We see Joe as much more than a coach, he is a friend. He uses clever, creative and innovative strategies to show each player how to reach their highest potential in real game situations. He coaches with full commitment, grace and passion! When necessary, he can also take a high intensity training session to a humorous one just to make a player feel less pressure and more comfortable. We feel blessed to have him in our basketball family and excited to see our daughters continued growth! Thank you for all that you do coach!

Our 2 daughters have been training with Coach Perry for about a month now. From the first session on, the girls have been learning not only the “how” but the “why”. Coach Perry explains with detail why a certain move should be done and that helps the girls understand why they need to do the action. Coach Perry is very patient, kind, respectful and funny. The girls get excited for their sessions and always leave with a drive to practice Coach Perry’s drills more at home. We look forward to continuing with Coach Perry for the long haul and only wish we had known him sooner…

We’ve been privately training with Joe for almost a year. Joe has been great at assessing my son’s level and needs and targeting his training to help improve his skills. Joe breaks down the moves and gives explanations for applying it to the games. We’ve also liked the small group sessions we’ve participated in.

I have seen and trained with many different styles of trainers, but by far Dreams Of The Hardwood has the best training program around. The trainer is not just a trainer but a coach as well, so you better believe your getting the best of both worlds. In a short time they had my son who played years of basketball just getting rebounds because of his height, now dribbling like guards and finishing at the basket with spectacular post moves. Not only that but Dreams of The Hardwood has the years of technical experience my son needed to increase his game IQ and that can only come from the kind of trainers who have patience and compassion to really educate you while training and doing it with respect and dignity. Most of all Dreams Of The Hardwood is there every step of the way to help you reach your goals weather it leads you to just development, high school, college or beyond. I have 5 sons and 3 playing basketball. I wouldn’t put my boys any other place for basketball training. Dreams Of The Hardwood has my highest rated approval!!

When you book Coach Perry, you’re booking the real deal. He genuinely loves the game and to help the player improve. It’s noticeable in the way he connects with each player. He knows just how to push them to stretch their own boundaries and grow, but does so through motivation. Our daughter has learned many things through Coach Perry. Even as our daughter starts her first year of college ball now, we know we can continue to call on him for training, advice, and mentorship. He’s not just an amazing coach & trainer he’s now our friend and someone we would recommend to everyone! We love Coach Perry.

Coach Joe exceeds my expectations as a coach. He is clear on what’s expected of the players, parents and himself. He shows respect towards his players. He praises hard work & efforts. He’s not afraid to correct mistakes made so players are aware when it happens. He doesn’t dwell on the mistakes...learn & move forward. He expects players to take responsibility as a player & as an individual. This is the type of training I expect as a parent & I believe players benefit from his knowledge & love of the game.

Coach Perry is next level training. In 3 months of consistent weekly training he’s transformed my 13 year old sons game. Jumps higher, dribbles faster, and executes . There’s lots of so called “ trainers” out there I know I’ve seen a lot of them. I wish we found him 5 years earlier.

Each session is customized to the player’s needs. Joe knows the intricacies of how a player plays and works to help them improve. Joe teaches drills that help a player during a game which helps with ‘situational smarts’. He also discusses the mental side of basketball and encourages each player thru motivation and shares his wisdom.

Coach Joe has been an awesome coach for our daughter. He is very thoughtful and intentional with the way he coaches each player. Through his many years of experience coaching athletes he is able to assess each players ability and challenges them appropriately for where they are at currently. He has a good balance of demanding performance yet being very encouraging. Another big plus is that coach really values character development and makes a great effort to instill that in his athletes. With coach Joe character isn't just a part of basketball, but it is central to the game. We are blessed to have him as our coach

Joe has been essential to the development of both of our daughters ages 15 and 8. We went to Joe because he is able meet the girls at their level in order to develop their skills and drastically increase their basketball IQ. He has prepared our 15 year old for high school ball by teaching her to read the defense create space to make shots. Our 8 year old is implementing strategies from Joe's lessons to shake her defenders and create opportunities to score in games. Their ball handling and footwork have improved at an incredibly fast rate, and their learning curve has been higher with Joe than with any other coach or trainer. We really appreciate his keen awareness for the individual approach each player needs. We look forward to daughters continuing their training with Joe!

Caitlin Bunting
I’ve been involved with Joe’s training since I was 16. (I’m now 24 years old) Joe is the type of trainer who adapts to you while staying within his own philosophies. Joe has trained a wide variety of athletes - youth to elite - and has done a great job helping athletes reach their fullest potentials. Not only is Joe a great teacher, but he is also a great student of the game which gives him an advantage of knowing all different types of styles of play. This is important because he has the ability to find a style that suits your child while also challenging them to try different types of things. I would recommend Coach Joe to anyone who is willing to work hard and get better (while also having fun of course) finding a trainer is like finding the right shoe. You want something that’s comfortable for you and that’s going to last the longest!

Lindsay Strothers
I've know Joe for over 30yrs. We've coached teams together and worked camps together. We've even coached against each other. Joe is one for the best PEOPLE I know. His heart is in the game to help the athletes. Joe's ability to access and develop talent quickly is remarkable. However more importantly is his ability to teach life lessons and help kids reach their full potential by building their confidence, ability to learn, self respect and respect for others. You won't find a better experience for your child. I recently sent a player of mine to Joe. She was spending the summer down in California. She arrived as a JV bench rider and returned as a Varsity player with an opportunity to start. She was standing up straight, smiling and telling me how much fun she had improving. It doesn't get much better than that.

Monica
My daughter has trained with Coach Joe since she was in 5th grade. She’s now a freshman, on the Varsity, at Mater Dei. Joe taught her the fundamentals of the game and introduced more advanced guard moves as she prrogressed. He’s promoted her to outside connections, including landing a video shoot for her with Henry Bibby. Though we don’t see him as much now, he has made a tremendous effort to keep in touch and follow her game. Ive met and had my daughter train with many trainers, and Joe is at the top of the list - a true asset to the basketball training world!

Joe's knowledge help develop my daughters game throughout the years. We went to him based on his reputation and experience at the high school level. He is a master technician that can work all levels and positions. His one on one sessions are designed to give players an edge and prepare them for game situations. He also teaches mental toughness an attitude that they need to be successful. Kids enjoy working for him. Sit in on one of his sessions and you'll see why

The basketball circuit is a tight knit community with so many options, but not too many that you can truly trust and believe in who are genuine or consistent. Coach Joe is consistent in his training and his ability to communicate with players, as well as, help each individual get them to their next level through custom and small groups. He has tons of years of experience as a coach/trainer and has the knowledge of what it takes to play at the collegiate level. His training sessions are based off skill level and the players ability to adapt and improve. He also has one and one training. Coach Jerry Perry is one of those gems - a diamond in the rough! His knowledge and understanding of the game goes beyond the normal scope of cone work. He has studied the game extensively and learned from the best. He stresses the importance of basketball IQ and making the player better all around and someone equipped to tackle any situation. He pushes his players through extensive training so they best know how to react in every situation of the game, whether that be in a one on one situation or double teamed. He works on fundamentals, foot work, ball handling, and form shooting.

Cam Cast
I have had the pleasure of both having my daughter play for Joe for 4 or 5 years, and the opportunity to coach with Joe for at least five years. He has 1) tremendous knowledge of the game 2) has realistic but high expectations of what can be accomplished 3) has drills and skills that are are of value for youth from 7-21 years of age 4) teaches basketball as it should be played; hard, as a team and with knowledge and discipline. But most importantly he has the experience and knowledge to continue to take the player to higher and higher skill and knowledge levels as they are prepared to handle it. In my opinion it would be difficult for you find a coach that has more experience and skills to improve the player no matter what level they are.

Breanna Madrazo
Coach Joe was my basketball coach throughout middle school and high school. He brings intensity, knowledge, and passion to the game. He's been coaching for decades and knows the little nuances and details needed to step your game up. If ever you needed him for a one-on-one session to fine tune any aspect of your skillset that you were lacking or if you wanted to network with other players to get a group session going, he was always the person to make it happen. He's a master of techniques both on the offensive and defensive ends, he holds you accountable for your progress, and pushes you to do better each time you're working out with him. Not only has he helped me on the court, but he's also been a great role model and mentor off the court. He helped me get recruited for college and was always an advocate for my success. Graduated from college now, I keep in contact with him to this day and always see how he's impacting the lives of the young girls that he coaches. One thing I would say is that you will have to work hard in every single session with him. He does not go easy on anyone. He nitpicks at any little discrepancy or weak spot of yours to make you better--so just be mentally ready! If you want to get better at the game of basketball, if you have dreams of playing in college, or if you find that your current coach just doesn't care enough about your success, Coach Joe is your guy.

Coach Joe is a great trainer! He knows the details of the game and is a fantastic instructor. He has years of experience and can demonstrate moves! Unlike other trainers that just "workout" a player, Coach Joe is a teacher of the game.

Joe does a comprehensive review of all skills. He makes learning easy by his use of demonstration and clear verbal expression. As a head coach of forty plus years , I would recommend him to players of the game. I

My daughter has been going to coach Joe for the last 3 years. He has played an integral role in her development. I have happily referred Joe to at least 10 families. Hey is fantastic...

We started going to Coach Perry so he can help transition my daughter to become a perimeter player (she's always played the forward position because she has "some" height.). His focus with her has been her footwork, situational plays, how to defend a perimeter player, etc. He's patient and provides positive reassurance when the drill is done right. He often asks her for her feedback and can sense her understanding of the drill. She always looks forward to her weekly workout with Coach Perry. She has been training with him for close to a year now and the results are very visible. She has become more confident and much more sure of herself since training with Coach Perry. We can not be more happier with the results.

I learned something new every workout. he's not your average trainer, he makes you think through the workouts as well as perfecting your move in powerful Motions.

Coach Perry has been training both my son and daughter starting from when they were 7 and 10 years old. My kids have learned so much from him and have excelled in their point guard skills. My son has been the starting point guard on all of his club teams for the past 6 years and my daughter is currently on the Varsity team at Troy High School. I highly recommend Coach Perry as a trainer for anyone wanting to improve their overall basketball skills and learn the fundamentals the right way. He will make them work hard and get them ready to play in high school.

Joe has been training my daughter for almost a year now. He is one of the best trainers she has had since she started playing basketball. He is very effective transferring basketball knowledge, ball handling and shooting. I have definitely noticed that my daughter has improved her game of basketball!

My daughter has had the pleasure of working with Joe for private basketball workouts. He worked her hard, but explained everything he was doing, and made the workouts fun. He was enthusiastic, supportive and knowledgeable. My daughter loved the workouts and will do more in the future. He was on time, easy to reach and has great passion for he game of basketball.

Coach Joe Perry, has been working with Carina for the last 2 years. Carina has only been playing basketball for 3 years and Coach Joe has done an outstanding job of developing Carina's skills as well as her basketball IQ. He has prepared Carina to compete at a very high level in a very short period of time.

Joe Perry is an incredible basketball coach and mentor. My daughter has worked with Joe for quite some time now. Her shooting and ball handling have improved dramatically. What I think is most important to express is how much her confidence has grown. Joe also teaches leadership skills on the court while working with my daughter which is every bit as important as the actual skill of playing itself. I highly recommend!

I've known Joe for over ten years now and he has worked with me through my middle school, high school, college and now into my professional career. He is a phenomenal skill developer and knows the game inside and out. Players of any level can benefit from his training and will see improvement in their game.

I usually start my first time clients with basic ball-handling and footwork. I move to shooting, then maybe shooting off the dribble. As I have watched them perform in these general areas, I begin to teach new things in each area to see how quickly they grasp it and to see if they possess deeper inadequacies. I mainly try to see the player's work ethic and mental toughness.
I have over 35 years of coaching youth through varsity high school. I have coached many DI college level athletes. I have trained players at least 30 years. I have numerous years of attending camps and clinics for coaches, trainers and players. I am associated with some of the basketball training industry's best.
I have an pricing system for my 1-hour private individual lessons. I offer an hour session rate, then I offer training bundles of 3 and/or 5 priced that offers a discounted rate.
I have coached many players and began training individuals with my 5 year old son as my first trainee. I built a love of training players along with coaching teams.
I have worked with both, male & female players. On the male side, I have worked with beginners to varsity high school players and international professionals. On the female side, I have worked with beginners to international professionals. I have coached players who have played both, college and professionally in the NBA, WNBA & Internationally.
A basketball training event I looked forward to is actually a 2-day Trainers & Coaches Conference that I attended the past 2 years.
My advice in seeking trainers would be: 1) commitment, 2) knowledge & 3) teaching ability. Don't mistake that a great demonstrator or player can teach.
Players should ask questions like: 1) how many years of experience? 2) ask questions that will reveal character and personal agenda. And 3) ask questions on methods of reaching the player's goals.
