What a great experience. The program worked on a lot of basketball fundamentals and on building a strong skill base instead of just scrimmaging. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who loves basketball.

Michael and Troy are amazing coaches! They push each child to be the best they can be. I could see a difference in my sons agility and speed after just a few lessons.

Michael has been an outstanding trainer for my son. He has challenged and pushed him to his limits and also maintains a positive and fun learning environment.

Very good person first. His training is ALL gamespeed. He really tries to understand and work on the most immediate needs of the child. My daughter's confidence has skyrocketed since working with Michael and Gamespeed

The training my son received from Michael Massey was, by far, better than any training that he has gotten from just the normal basketball coaches that he has had through the years. The speed drills and agility drills have improved my son's overall performance on the court. I recommended him to several friends and they all were very impressed with the training. Michael has both passion for the game and dedication to teach today's youth how to be the best they can be!
