Stephanie C. says, "My son expressed his interest in basketball and had some kids in his school make fun of his basketball skills. I found coach Barkley online and he was the first one to reply to me right away. My son was so nervous the first two sessions he didn’t want to even remove his hood on his hoodie he wore. After the third session he did, and coach Barkley started to unlock a confidence I had never seen before. Coach always went the extra mile to explain things to him that other coaches wouldn’t. The fundamentals of basketball were the focus. My son went from knowing nothing to increasing his speed, agility, understanding of drills, rules, positions, and how to make a proper shot. My son’s grandparents started coming to watch and after watching all of their grandkids they expressed how amazing coach Barkley was. They had never seen a coach go so in depth to make sure kids of all abilities could understand what he was teaching. Every Saturday he would do practice and a lot of times it would go over the hour. He is an incredible person and coach. He brought out confidence in my son no one else has ever been able to. If you are looking for a coach he is the absolute best and I highly recommend him. I can’t thank him enough for all he did in the five months my son worked with him." Read more

Your Basketball Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much does a personal basketball trainer cost?

The average cost of a personal basketball trainer ranges from $30 to $150 per hour for one-on-one sessions. The cost can be influenced by factors such as the player's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), the trainer's experience and expertise, and the location where the training takes place.

Additionally, small group sessions of 2 to 4 children can cost $30 to $50 per session on average, while large group training of 4+ kids can cost $20 to $40 per session on average

How do you train for basketball?

A well-rounded basketball training regimen should include skill-specific workouts, strength and conditioning exercises, and a structured training program. Skill development includes shooting workouts, ball handling drills, and training tailored to your position, whether you’re a guard or post player.

Strength and conditioning exercises such as aerobic training and strength training for primary muscle groups like hips, quads, and glutes are critical. A structured 6-week training program that emphasizes form, technique, and skill progression should improve your game.

How many hours do basketball players train a week?

Basketball players, especially those aiming to improve their skills, may train for around 10 to 15 hours per week, depending on the level of their game. The specific distribution of training hours across skill development, strength training, and other aspects can vary based on individual needs and goals.

However, much of that training time does not require an instructor. Shooting hoops, working out at the gym, and playing pick-up games all count toward the total training time.

Is strength training important for basketball?

Yes, strengthtraining is essential for basketball players as it aids in the development of speed strength, absolute strength, and core strength. It boosts blast impulse, the ability to generate force rapidly, crucial for activities like jumping for rebounds and swift changes in direction.

Additionally, strength training enhances power output and agility, allowing players to respond quickly to on-court situations and maintain an edge over their opponents.

What questions should I ask a basketball trainer?

Ask these questions when picking a basketball trainer to help you meet your goals:

  • What is your background and experience in basketball training?
  • Have you worked with players at my skill level or position before?
  • What is your coaching philosophy and training style?
  • How do you tailor your training programs to individual needs?
  • What specific skills and aspects of the game do you emphasize in your training sessions?
  • How do you address both physical and mental aspects of player development?
  • Do you conduct initial assessments to identify strengths and areas for improvement?
  • How do you track and measure a player's progress over time?
  • How do you incorporate injury prevention strategies into your training programs?
  • What steps do you take to ensure the well-being of your athletes?
  • What is your availability for training sessions?
  • How do you handle scheduling and potential conflicts?
  • How do you communicate with players and provide feedback?
  • What role do players and parents/guardians play in the feedback process?
  • What are your fees and payment structure?
  • Are there any long-term commitments or package deals available?
  • Can you provide references from previous clients or players you have trained?
  • How do you work with players to set and achieve realistic goals?
  • What expectations do you have for players in terms of commitment and effort?

How do I choose a basketball trainer?

When selecting a basketball trainer, consider the following tips:

  • Look for a trainer with a solid background and experience in basketball training. Ideally, they should have worked with players at your skill level or in your position.
  • Understand the trainer's coaching philosophy and training style. Ensure it aligns with your goals and preferences for skill development.
  • Inquire about the specific skills and aspects of the game that the trainer emphasizes. Make sure they cover the areas you want to improve.
  • Check if the trainer conducts initial assessments to identify areas for improvement.
  • Ensure the trainer incorporates injury prevention strategies into their programs.
  • Consider the trainer's communication style, which is vital for a successful training relationship.
  • Verify the trainer's availability for sessions fits your routine.
  • Seek references from previous clients or players the trainer has worked with.
  • Understand the trainer's fees and payment structure.

Reviews for Cleveland Heights basketball trainers

Recent success stories from people in the Cleveland Heights area.
Stephanie C.
My son has autism and adhd and has a hard time making new friends or just feeling comfortable enough to try new things. After expressing his interest in basketball he had some kids in his school make fun of his basketball skills. I searched the internet and found a place in solon that has basketball machines and coaching but after checking the place out they basically just set the machine up and left him to figure it out. He was so upset and had even less confidence after that experience. I found coach Barkley online and he was the first one to reply to me right away. My son was so nervous the first two sessions he didn’t want to even remove his hood on his hoodie. After the third session he did, and coach Barkley started to unlock a confidence I had never seen before. Coach always went the extra mile to explain things to him that other coaches wouldn’t. The fundamentals of basketball were the focus. My son went from knowing nothing to increasing his speed, agility, understanding of drills, rules, positions, and how to make a proper shot. My sons grandparents started coming to watch and after watching all of their grandkids they expressed how amazing coach Barkley was. They had never seen a coach go so in depth to make sure kids of all abilities could understand what he was teaching. Every Saturday he would do practice and a lot of times it would go over the hour. He is an incredible person and coach. He brought out confidence in my son no one else has ever been able to. If you are looking for a coach he is the absolute best and I highly recommend him. I can’t thank him enough for all he did in the five months my son worked with him. He deserves so much more than what he charges!
