About
I have over 30 years of coaching experience. Coaching college, AAU, High School and Jr High players. For the last 15 years I have been training people of all ages and skill levels. In small groups, as well as individual training.
I can set up a program that will help your child’s development and understanding the game of basketball. I will cover shooting, ball handling, passing and athletic agility.
Lessons take place at Saint Albans School, 3551 Garfield St. NW DC, Where I am on the coaching staff.
I will be glad to help you in any way I can.
Thanks
Coach Bobby

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I start working on ball handling. The different moves such as crossover, between the legs, behind the back, spin and in and out dribble. All while keeping their heads up. Then layups, form shooting and passing. Depending on the indivdual, I'll do some rebounding, and defensive drills.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I played college basketball, and have coached basketball for over 30 years. I'm IYCA certified to develop youth speed & agility.
