About this pro
I have been working with youth players for 20+ years. I understand how to teach proper shooting mechanics and footwork. I break down the instruction into easy to understand drills that help improve accuracy in all age groups.
I enjoy seeing the progress in the kids I work with and hearing their success stories.

Erie spent one on one time with my son and really tried to focus on the little things that he was doing wrong. Great facility and my son especially used the shooting guns.
