About

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.

    Working with Erik was such a great experience for my boys. He helped them improve their basketball skills tremendously. He works very well with all age children and is eager for them to improve their game. He is a great coach!

    I love the facility. Eric worked with my daughter on her shooting. Her form and accuracy improved tremendously. He made the work outs fun and fast paced.

    All lessons are held at the Sports Centre of the North Shore, 600 Waukegan Rd, Unit AB, Northbrook, IL 60062

    I started with weekend clinics for neighborhood kids.

    I have worked with kids in 1st grade - high school.

    Most of the players I work with are 3rd - 10th grades.

    Looks for someone that understands how to design easy to understand drills that will improve your shooting mechanics as well as teaching proper footwork.   Using proper footwork will set the player up for success as they get older.

    What do they want help with (form, consistency, footwork, range)?

    How will improving my skills translate into making me a better player in games?
