1 Up Basketball Academy

Coach Thompson is a very great trainer. I have been going to him for 4 months now, and in this amount of time he has helped me get a lot better. As a result I was able to make my jv basketball team thanks to him. He teaches the fundamentals of basketball, and the right way to play the game.

Coach Kevin bring high energy to training rain or shine and extremely patience

Outstanding delivery of Basketball knowledge, all in a safe and respectful environment that provides students with proper conditions for learning and growing.

Coach Thompson does a good job of showing how to perform a specific drill rather than just telling the student to do it. He gets involved with the workout of the student. He also applies real basketball scenarios to improve on the drill. I’d refer him to anyone.

Coach Kevin is hands down the best trainer my son (12u) has ever had. At 1 Up, they now how to positively motivate and push kids to to the next level. With an emphasis on skill building, defense, and understanding how to play within a team context - my son’s game has developed by leaps and bounds. Coach Kevin knows how to get the most out of players, teaching them fundamentals, as well as higher level skills and concepts. My son looks forward to going to 1 Up, and his game has improved considerably. He now easily finishes with his left hand, feels confident about going up against bigger kids, and has just taken his overall game to a higher level under Coach Kevin’s direction. One of the things that separates his coaching and training is that he puts all the kids in real game-time situations and teaches as the kids play, as opposed to just scrimmaging without purpose. The kids have to apply the training they have learned as they play. My son has trained under some of the top trainers in the area, but there is no trainer/coach I have seen that matches 1 Up.
